put it all together and it spells

DEEP BACKGROUND:mind

But for me the next step is where it all sort of falls apart. Life appears from a lifeless earth, this strange form of energy and matter that supposedly happened at random (suggesting that the physical laws that govern the universe have no significance in the realm of the small and particular? I've never understood what a person could possibly mean by using the term random in a scientific context. There's nothing random about dice. We're just not very good at observing them...) either here or somewhere else and came here, sure, and the nature of life is to evolve into structures of increasing complexity, to carry out it's processes of reproduction and transformation...or whatever, the point is, it was, but what was is not what is so we assume that it must have transformed from what is. All this says fuck-all about what the scientific mechanism is underlying this process. Just how exactly DO little twists of complicated amino acids cause the self manufacture of intensely complex interactive kinetic sculptures? How do they guide the formation of a construct capable of modeling its surroundings with nothing but an abstract system of symbols? What is the origin of Mind? Don't look to science for the answers. Two days ago I read in the scientific press one player in the human genome game announcing that they were figuring that the human genome was about a third again as big as they had previously thought. We're just grazing the surface of whatever deep, wierd scientific principles are harnessed in the mysterious stuff of life. I don't have a lifetime to wait for science to tell me how my brain works, what it's for, how I may best utilize it. I have no choice but to conduct my own experiments. What is free will, in terms of potassium diffusion across a membrane? What is self-knowledge, as considered from the point of view of a highly tailored molecule released across the synaptic cleft to a receptor cell? Science has plenty of theories on the development of life but the origin of this mind, this self-conscious, world-changing mind, remain quite opaque. And at that dark and uncertain doorway we discover the origin of text.
