I want to note that a mind's expansion isn't physical expansion. It is existential expansion.

Actualy Guille, the expansion of the mind IS actual physical expansion. That is why babies learn more as they grow bigger, their brain expands. Some empirical evidence to back this up is a study in which London taxi drivers, who have to train for 2 years learning places, were found to have slightly larger hypothalames compared to the average size.
On this subject, do you think that if the brain was genetically engineered to grow larger, we would be capable of learning more and our conciousness would therefore expand, giving us a higher level of access to the TOE??? Also, you say 'animal brothers' which is derrogatory as we ourselves are animals, often forgotten by humans (a species of animal). After all, it wasnt that long ago that your ancestors were swinging in trees eating bananas.
