Episode notes

The illusion of it that's the illusion of it for us that is a single sequential set of thoughts and all of that came from a single cell through the process of embryo genesis. You have like cells that that create new cells and eventually that builds a whole organism but then the animal or the plant or the human has its own mechanism of replication which is connected in a very complicated way to the mechanism of replication of the cells. If you if you look inside the cell if you see how dna and proteins are are connected then there is yet another completely different mechanism whereby proteins are mass produced using enzymes.
