Thank you so very much for sharing your insights!

Serious work is being conducted as we read today on the next generation of computer processors, single cell biological transistors that operate on chemistry, not electricity, so to speak. I find that amazing.

Amazing indeed, but not surprising to me.

For example, IBM just recently broke the petaflop speed barrier (one thousand trillion calculations per second) and is now targeting the exaflop (one million trillion calculations per second). This remarkable achievement comes at the expense of more than 12,960 Cell processors – and of course, the attendant special needs for cooling.

The human brain, on the other hand, runs somewhere around 100 petaflops.

Serious 5th dimensional thinking being applied at the foundation of the research now and looking at Darwin and his evolution theory slapped the casually convenient-minded a couple centuries backwards.

Indeed.

As a human being that continues to enjoy the observations and learnings of life, I can honestly testify in front of witnesses, there are days, though few, my mind only operates at 4.77 MHz. The rest of the bandwidth is either consumed with emotion or simple isn’t available due to EMP’s (elitist mingling politicians).
