Been thinking about this a lot lately. As multicellular beings, we have no individuality. Every facet of our being is just a collection of cells. We're nothing more than walking talking ant colonies except with cells. It's fucking wild
Nah. Ant colonies aren't collectives. We are a collective that acts for the good of the collective, not for the good of any one cell or group of cells.Been thinking about this a lot lately.

Microbes are the only things that determine our behaviorIsn't there mounting evidence that these organism (usually bacteria) somehow dictate some of our behavior?
Bad gut = cranky :)
Its god, man, we are all gods.Speaking of, what is with the inner voice we hear in our heads? What exactly is it? Do animals have inner voices? Human brain is frickin weird man
A cell is a collection of atoms and molecules ... they aren't basic either we got electrons quarks etc etc ... maybe strings lower level . Humans are an emergent phenomenon yes ... I don't see the issue ... you are a collection of random crap yes if you break it down that way .Been thinking about this a lot lately. As multicellular beings, we have no individuality.

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form
Emptiness is not separate from form, form is not separate from emptiness
Whatever is form is emptiness, whatever is emptiness is form.
Dude you know what I mean. Don't pick at itA cell is a collection of atoms and molecules ... they aren't basic either we got electrons quarks etc etc ... maybe strings lower level .

Your brain is made of cellsWe are just our consciousness. But that's an emergent property of the brain, so we aren't just colonies of cells.
Also, following this line of thinking, nothing is anything.
Indeed. But my consciousness is an emergent property.
Hmm... let me think on thisIndeed. But my consciousness is an emergent property.
No molecule of water is wet, for example.
