some things i thought about today
- communication (and human interaction for that matter) is essentially based on the firing of synapses (and furthermore on chemical reactions between atoms) that create an action, and that action is interpreted by another person who translates sensory input data by way of chemical reaction, to a chemical signature representing like, dislike, neutrality, or other reactions.
- your consciousness is formed by a rather large number of atoms and molecules, as well as the reactions between them.
- i don’t know what our own perception of consciousness/sentience is formed by. what is it that makes us feel like we are an active living thing?
- forget that we are interacting with humans. we are interacting with a number of chemical systems. there is but no consciousness that we can sense within another fellow human being.
- to name a few things, they take energy in stored form, convert it to energy, powers and supports its complex processes.

I honestly believe there's a massive social revolution sitting squarely between China's present and its much touted Glorious Future. They have some painful lessons to learn about the explosive force of information confined. Careful now, China: the whole world's watching.
