There is everything and every imaginable and better still,  un imaginable thing in consciousness, without it we’ll keep running in circles. ..Without consciousness we’re still imprisoned in our mind in the material, on earth, in the “machines”, in our egos, our thoughts, which are only “vehicles”, manifestations of it. Why spread our ignorance with artificial life bombs in the universe? If we were ALL conscious we’ll realise we won’t need all this. Other (obviously) more intelligent or advanced than us hopefully won’t permit that kind of pollution. We just need to get a mirror to begin with it. Mankind as it is now, is probably viewed like a pest in the garden of the universe.
