Random Conjecture: the most efficient way to build a new intelligent entity is through the process that we’ve been familiar with all this time — natural birth.

Intuition: to truly achieve all of the functions of the human brain and neurons, the most efficient structure is one that is biological or simulates our biological composition. There is likely no process (energy and material-wise) to produce human cells at the same fidelity as simply having sex and giving birth.

Random Conjecture: the most efficient way to build a new flying entity is through the process that we’ve been familiar with all this time — natural birth.
This seems self-evidently true. How much does it cost to produce a gnat?
And like the intelligence manufacturing conjecture, it's both true and absolutely useless.
For me or for a gnat? Because for me the cost is pretty high.
Random observation: reading your comment made me think of Stanley Kubrick.
