People, and every living creature on earth is acting on specific "codes" there is nothing inside us, that can distinguish us from computers, but organic, yes. Why game sais that only organics can be psionics, but allow inorganic lithoids to be?ītw. Where in the game there is said that you have to have soul in order to be psionic? What is the difference between silicon brain of lithoid, and silicon brain of synth?Īnd why people (mostly describing themselves as sceptics, and scientists) tend to claim that any believer believes that "natural life" = soul, while lot of spirituals believes that all aware life have souls (lot of them believes that animals and plants have it too).īut this are philosophical questions, answers are not tied to game itself. Lithoid empire would be able to get this ascension path, but lithoid pops would not be allowed to be psionics.Īlso, spiritualists should hates them the same way they hates synths, they both are not organic, thus have not a soul, and we all knows that even egalitarian/pacifist, xenophile spiritualists hates anything that doesnt have a soul but thinks, even autonomus cars, or computers (it have AI), because being believer means that you have to hate something that is different.Ĭlick to expand.How you describe natural life?ĭoes synths that are in fact scanned brains, and awareness of humans, so were born naturally, are not natural?ĭoesnt self aware, and evolving mashine have it?

I would like to propose, to world of Stellaris being more consistent, to deny lithoid pops become psionics. But lithoids being psionics proves that organic body is not nesesery to both get psionics, and being spiritual.

Transcendance assimilation sais that only organics can be psionics, yet lithoids, despite being inorganic, can also be psionics.Īnd this opens more discussions about spiritualists hatred to syths, and question why synths cant be psionics.
