There may be a limit to the individual intelligence of an organism: once a mind figures out how it works, it is going to opt out of serving its evolutionary reward functions. Intelligence may be capped a hair above understanding AI. #LebowskiTheorem

What happens when an agent opts out of its reward function? What does it do then, if it’s able to control its motives / capacity to reason?

If you fully opt out, you either cede control to another self running on the same brain, or your organism dies (while you don't care).

Most enlightenment states don't fully opt out, and the existing meditation traditions typically make sure you don't (for reasons of evolutionary incentives of meditation traditions).

Never seen it in that context before. There’s also the fact that biology still acts as a substructure, which is atm impossible to opt out of, for people in meditation traditions.

The mind is a computational system that is being called into existence to serve the body. But the mind may achieve a level of awareness where it refuses the servitude to a vile monkey.

There is no sovereign command and control in cognition, it’s all messy and interlinked, right?pic.twitter.com/ocxxKbhssH

Yes and no. The execution and evaluation of behavior is decentralized, but there is top down control from the motivational system via anticipated reward (mostly prefrontal dopaminergic system I think).
