I am glad you were intrigued enough to remember. I cherish the useful criticism I gained by your generous interactions. Something I can perhaps intrigue you again with is the epiphany I recently had regarding consciousness. Because clairvoyance and precognition are statistically quantifiable, these properties of consciousness demonstrably exist, yet enable information to exceed the speed of light. I am struck that consciousness therefore isn't bound by the laws of physics, and appears to be something external to our physical universe - yet we experience it in the universe. This would explain why we can't actually directly detect consciousness, but only indirectly by observing the volitional actions of creatures able to demonstrate conscious decisions, such as single celled creatures learning to run a maze to get to food, which also shows that consciousness isn't created in brains, because single celled creatures don't have brains.

Recently I learned of the research of Michael Levin, whom has studied bioelectrical intercellular communications, and learned to interfere with those communications in ways that affect the physiological growth of multicellular organisms. He was able to induce limb regeneration in frogs, for example, despite frogs not doing so. He also showed that cancers disconnect from this bioelectrical communications network, and then proceed to proliferate a network of cancerous cells. He demonstrated that by restoring their connection to the network they disconnected from, their unchecked proliferation ceased. In doing this he did not correct any defects in the cancerous cells, or otherwise treat their faults.

I hope you find this as fascinating as I do, to good effect.

Happy New Year!
