[MD] MOQ would seems to imply that above human intelligence computers

You're missing the point Platt - if they are intelligent and thus 
have an intellectual level - they would have a social level.

[Arlo jumps in]
Yeah, although this is a hypothetical (at present), the MOQ is very 
clear that intellectual patterns emerge from social patterns, they do 
not appear in isolation outside of this.

[Horse]
If computers ever did become intelligent it would be through a 
different but analogous path.

[Arlo]
Agree.

But perhaps rather than parallel socio-intellectual evolution, 
perhaps some manner of networked intelligence will provide the 
necessary complexity for a new level of evolution; one that "we" 
won't be a part of outside providing some foundational firmament, 
like red-blood cells to the mythos.
