Self-awareness seems to be rather difficult to accomplish. You could say that the earth is a large complicated processor and it was only able to produce one species (that we know of) that could invent the internet. I believe that if it were possible for humans to create self-awareness - the ability to post on electronic forums - the earth would have already done so. Wait... I think I remember seeing where a snake was posting on twitter https://twitter.com/BronxZoosCobra[^] well there goes that argument. Yes clearly self-awareness is replicable by humans because snakes are posting on forums. Next discussion please.

I could easily see the reinstatement of the star wars program from this finding. No one would suspect a giant roll of scotch tape to have a lethal potential. As a matter of fact maybe space programs could start stockpiling tazer tape in outer space now for "construction purposes" hehehe. :laugh:
