> > > dhw: Thank you for a great article describing an amazing process. It brings home to us the vast scale of the micro-world that lives inside us. ... If we rid ourselves of our “large organisms chauvinism” (Shapiro) and acknowledge the possibility that just as we are intelligent specks in a vast universe, the specks in our bodies are also beings with their own form of intelligence, the whole process makes sense.-It makes just as much sense to recognize intelligent information running the processes. > > DAVID (under “[b]ant colony complexity[/b]”): [i]Still 50/50. Just as likely I am right and lots of folk agree with me. I know how automatic my cells are in my human body.[/i] > > dhw: You “know”? It's worth recalling Stephen Talbott's observation: “We discover that our highest capacities - our thinking, our formulation of goals and plans, our strivings and passions, our sense of well-being and illness - are objectively imaged in our own biological organism [b]right down to the molecular activity of our cells, as also in the cells of every other living creature.[/b]” (My bold). But you “know”?-Still 50/50
