Interesting that we would model technology after nature while in the final analysis it may turn out that you are the end result of a billion year old nano-tech electro-chemical robot manufacturing facility. I know that when I get out of here, I sure have some words for the manufacturer.
Great article, love the Alan Watts quote I read an article by Alan Watts recently in which he stated, "So you see here again the problem comes out, we do not really know how to interfere with the way the world is. The way the world actually is, is an enormously complex interrelated organism. The same problem arises in medicine, because the body is a very complexly interrelated organism."
Which comes down to one of the points you make in the article, the hubris of people to think they know better than "nature"
"I do not see these amazing discoveries as pointing to an Intelligent Designer or traditional “God”; rather I think they open the door for us to confront the reality that we do not know what intelligence is and we have mistakenly assumed that it resides only in our brains."
So true! And as long as we will continue to believe ourselves superior to nature, we will continue to remain dumb!
Loved this!
