good article with not one mention of global warming, climate change, critical race theory, immigration, or white priviledge.
Very refreshing out of the ‘scientific’ community.
What we experience as multicellular organisms is a wonderfully evolved illusion that converts frequencies of light and sound and molecules of odor and taste into a sensory stream that we call consciousness. The illusion makes us arrogant in the belief that “we” are controlling this mass of cells when in fact the cells only let you experience what you need to know to satisfy the nutritional and and reproductive needs of the cells themselves.
Its also true that we carry ten times more bacterial cells in our bodies that live off our metabolic processes than our own body cells. From the point of view of the bacteria we are like a farm animal that they have domesticated to provide them what they need to survive. The world inside each of us is more complex than all the stars and planets in the universe.

From the article:”Life finds a way to persist and proliferate.”. How true.
Strange that they are yellow, I wonder why...
Apparently they aren’t just tropical, but they are needed for coral reefs. I also wonder if they are used in the world’s biggest reef deep off the shore of Norway IIRC.
