Could Democritus have predicted extragalactic travel?
An Intelligence Explosion may permitted under physicalism, yet be prohibited by cost and complexity,
like intergalactic travel is permitted under physicalism, yet prohibited by cost and engineering complexity.
Thereby saving minds such as we, around the minimum level of intelligence required for general intelligence,
from being displaced by minds that are powerful to the maximum degree that the limits-of-physics allow.
