Lex was definitely on to something with the idea of intelligence and consciousness being conflicting. I've always had an intuition that the closer someone gets to knowing everything the closer they get to not existing, since the only thing that people are definable by are their beliefs/actions (beliefs being prerequisites to actions). But in order for someone to have a belief, they need to have a degree of uncertainty. Thus, the more knowledge, the less uncertainty, the less beliefs, and so on.,(reply>), this is a good take jacob
