Cambrian Explosion: afterthought (Introduction)

DAVID: Cells operate from stimuli and responses using information given them by intelligence. They are not intelligent in the senses I have described.
> 
> dhw; You have not described intelligence in any sense. You have agreed with my definition, and then simply reiterated your firm belief that in spite of cells possessing all the attributes I have listed, they are not intelligent!-
> I must keep repeating. They are under controls to use information they are given in the genome. That is not intelligence. Intelligence requires thoughtfulness and a brain.
> 
> dhw: There is two-way traffic between our brain cells and the rest. .... I do not include self-awareness as a prerequisite for thought. Please tell me what other attributes you require before you agree to a definition.-Am uneven two-way traffic. The brain controls by nerve signals. The brain gets chemical signalw from the cells.-
> 
> Dhw Can I tell you the origin [of cellular intelligence]? No. No-one can. If we could, there would be no need for any of our hypotheses and we would not be having this discussion.
> 
> DAVID: But the discussion is fun.
> 
> As with all the best forms of education, we have fun while we learn.-You cannot seem to understand the use of information by cells and want to call it intelligence. We are not discussing M1 or CIA intelligence. That is only information.
