Living cells (Introduction)
DAVID: Act like they have a mind of their own. Amazing article of how cells assemble themselves and move on a glass slide. It is automatic protein mechanics, or is it guided? : > > http://phys.org/news/2012-07-cadherin-catenin-actin-exerts-cells-tissues.html &... > Fascinating stuff. I am reminded of the following, written back in December 2011: > > "Even if you don't believe in God, you have to acknowledge some innate form of intelligence that enables these cells to get together, to invent new mechanisms, and to keep the mechanisms functioning. [..] 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." > > The thread was called "The Intelligent Cell". We seem to be onto something!-The link I just posted will challenge this idea. 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?

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"
\"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.\"
