> dhw: Quite separately from all the medical implications of this article, what fascinates me is the way in which microcosms and macrocosms reflect one another. The “desire to interact with others” is a driving force of evolution: single cells join to form cellular communities (even bacteria do it), cellular communities join to form bodies, - This is obviously all programmed into original life. - > dhw: It may be said to go all the way through to the universe itself, in which matter cooperates with matter (we would not have life without the positive interaction of countless celestial “bodies”) as well as waging war on itself (the break-up of solar systems). We can also regard the universe as one gigantic “body” (which perhaps might fit in with BBella's concept of a unified All That Is), though whether it has a single mind, a zillion minds, or no mind at all (apart from earthly minds) is the big question that fuels so many of our discussions. - I think this was programmed in the quantum mechanics of the Big Bang.
