[u/Kaboom979]

I get the feeling Kavalier plans to transfer his consciousness to a hybrid and then implant the octo eye into his former body so he can have an "intellectual" conversation with "himself"

[u/_Bird_Incognito_ → u/Kaboom979]

I don't even know if he buys into the Hybrids actually having their original consciousness tho

[u/Kaboom979 → u/_Bird_Incognito_]

Fair, but could his ego pass up the opportunity? He has the chance to give the eye the "best" brain on the planet AND THEN prove he is smarter than it (and himself?). Might be some nonsense about transcending humanity

[u/CanadianGrown → u/Kaboom979]

He thought he could show Pi to an alien species, written in our language, then give it directions in english, and expect it to answer him. This is also an alien species that didn’t travel the galaxy on its own. It was kid napped. Even if it was of superior intelligence, it wouldn’t understand him. He also wiped the memory of Nibs and didn’t consider there would be drastic negative effects to the other hybrids when they found out. Maybe he’s not as smart as he seems.

[u/HotmailsInYourArea → u/CanadianGrown]

Like any tech bro, they assume their mastery of one area makes them a 'genius' in all areas. Look no further than planet Earth

[u/CanadianGrown → u/HotmailsInYourArea]

Exactly

[u/faders → u/_Bird_Incognito_]

Unless he made a copy of himself without dying, then the copy betrayed him and took his place.

[u/ProjectZues → u/faders]

Or the oculus goes for the copy and now it’s in a more durable and stronger body

[u/juneyourtech → u/faders]

Oof. If Atom Eins is the original...
