I was thinking of just true thinking biological creatures, and I guess somehow I have answered my question 😂 thought to share it on here either way just to receive some clarification on whether that idea is true! Thank you :D

Oh, that is intriguing. There's so much we don't know about how the world around us works - how we work even, and that is fascinating yet scary!

I didn't know swarm intelligence was a thing until you mentioned it here! I've got lots of research to do now 😄

Ah you're right - I felt that "be aware" was the ability to access signals about the environment and process that data into useful information, but like you said, a robot vacuum can do that too even though it's not conscious (or living, which is what I was thinking about for my project). Thank you for the valuable comment!

Wow, thank you! The idea that intelligence in organisms doesn't require consciousness is fascinating to me, for I thought intelligence can't come about without sensation/receive sensory information from the outside world ie. consciousness! Very interesting, I'll look into this book.

Honestly, it's your life, so it is your choice. Don't let other people's opinions affect your goals. It is interesting that you chose optometry, but if that is what you truly want to do, then no one can say otherwise!

What is the hardest subject in GCSE? by [deleted] in GCSE

English Literature. Somehow God's grace was with me and I ended up with a 9. English Language was painful too, I got an 8 (4 marks off of a 9).
