And so at least on Earth, as we know it, there is a sufficient pool of available chemicals to start searching that common torial space of bonds. So intelligence can come before life. It's like panpsychists believe that consciousness, I guess, comes before life and before intelligence. So consciousness permeates all matter, it's some kind of fabric of reality. However, I don't see myself traveling fast and light any time soon.
