I really try my best not to ever come up with a concrete and final answer for anything... because besides the fact that such a thing doesn't really exist, it also ends the fun of exploring thoughts and potential answers with people. There are always deeper levels to explore.... of all the multitude of discoveries throughout the centuries, that one certainty remains... that no matter how much complexity we think something has we will always find further levels to it.  This has been the tenet of the greatest minds throughout history - Socrates, Galileo, Einstein, Jesus - that only because they discarded the consensus to explore with their imagi

Squid and Octopi are some of the smartest creatures in the ocean, possibly the most observant and advanced in terms of eyesight and complexity of visual communication and display, and also some of the most "primitive" on our anthropocentric map of evolution.  This is itself a paradox to our ongoing judgment of the living testament of nature, and our placement in it... because if primitive cuttlefish and squid and octopi can have powers of ocular and mental perception far surpassing our own, in a range of light and complexity far surpassing our own, then what ground do we have to consider ourselves superior, them inferior, or even to compare t

When we regard the Notion of an atom, we must no longer think specifically of the microscopic constituents of our Mass, but every instance of self-enclosed luminosity or consciousness. That is to say that, when we think of worlds of interacting information (as Einstein described them) - spheres such as our own solar system and its voluminous self-enclosing planetary and dark-comet matter field, or the sphere of an individual Human mind/body/soul, or a galactic supercluster with its Central Sun - we must remember that none is greater than the lesser, none lesser than the greater, all are simply interacting, spiralling orbits of information.
