    In the afterlife, I imagine that I can watch the whole history of the Earth unfold like a movie. So I get a birds-eye view, I can zoom in and out, and I can Fast-Forward, Pause, and Rewind at will. I can see the Earth form, change, Life emerge, extinction events, and repeat.
    What a show that would be.

      That's a neat dream. Being able to find answers that wouldn't make sense in a corporeal existence. After all, consciousness is massless yet it seems to drive for life in every step of the way, so perhaps in a way, we're more than we think we are.

    • @DialecticRed
      @DialecticRed Рік тому +15

      I've dreamt of basically that exact idea, extending it to the notion that you could see not only the history, but all of the future as well. The entirety of the universal time cube.
      Unfortunately, when it comes to the afterlife, I follow Occam's Razor. As much as I would love for this to be the case, I will go through life under the assumption that the termination of life will give way to oblivion.
      That being said, once I reach that point, I'd be extremely grateful to be proven wrong. Although at the same time, I feel like you wouldn't want to exist for eternity. Even if I could see the entirety of the universe, I'm sure that at some point I would tire. The self has to be put to rest at some point . . . I'm just of the opinion that in present day it's all too early.

    23:50 so few people mention Linné when speaking about science and biology! He's one of the 'founding fathers" of science, and yet barely anyone mentions him. So utterly strange. We're taught all about him in Swedish schools obviously, isn't anyone else?

      Think of viruses as broken fragments of code. DNA and RNA write the "code" which tells our cells how to make new cells and all the parts of our body.
      Just like computer code, if you cut and paste an incomplete segment of code, it might cause problems, not function as intended. That's what viruses do. Cells pick them up and read them thinking they are reading proper code, and they follow the instruction but the instructions are a mess and things get messed up.

    I've ready Wilson's book about ants; an easy-to read book and I learned from it. I had no idea, though of his childhood experience.
