[..] I'm not arguing that they make conscious decisions in the way humans do, but I am most definitely arguing that those vast assemblies of cells cannot have achieved their functioning complexities just by being swirled in the water or blown by the wind. There is method in their meetings."

Stanford researchers created the first ever complete simulation of an organism, and it turns out that the behavior of the sim is extremely close to what is observed. Bacterial automaton?

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
