kind of zoning out, and then some toddler gives a scream in the bathroom with it's mother saying 'mom, the registry sucks'. then a really huge scream. just protesting boredom. kind of like church. then i remembered at church they had a section that had glass where you could take your kids.
i guess it's kind of ironic. when your a kid you have all the time in the world. yet you raise the biggest protest about having to sit with a bunch of ppl. like it's innate.
one idea that im working on is that the universe is alive. like an organism. and we are inside it. like we're parts of it. like an organ or something. i was first introduced to the idea in comics with the being called entity. im not sure but i think that was the first superhero that really wasn't a superhero. i thought at the time that it was lame to think of the universe as a person. it doesn't shape itself into a silhouette resembling a person.
so the idea started a few years ago when i thought that many things in the universe start from something simple, or a lower state of entropy and proceeds to something more complex. like it's building something. mostly that single cells turn into specialists and form multi-celled things.
i don't think you can say that laws in physics are the same or as definitive as in biology. and physicists always get in trouble when they try to apply physics and philosophy to biology. so i thought, if single cells make up multi-celled things then what to multi-celled things make? i mean they make us, but is that it?
so my next idea was that life is trying to make the most complex thing it can. that would be DNA right? which would be us. although i don't think humans have the most complex or biggest DNA out of all the lifeforms on earth, you can't really judge DNA by it's size. just like you can't judge a brain by it's size. it's how many of the parts you use and what you use them for that counts.
but i ran into a major problem in my thinking. if you are already a multicelled species, you can't be any more complex than you already are. so i thought of ants. sure unlike ants, we are individuals. but ants are an example of a multicelled species that gets more complex as their colonies go. the queen acts as a reproductive organ. the worker ant acts like metabolism, the soldier ants act like an immune system. so you could say that an ant colony is a single organism. so that's a start. but extrapolating ant behavior to humans and saying, even tho we are individuals, we are still somehow part of a giant organism is more daunting.
