Most people aren't yet aware that all life is information processing. This is in part because of the utter degradation and fallen state of our civilization's information distribution system.

This fact that we live in a mathematical universe does not "unweave the rainbow" as the romantic poet, John Keats once feared.

Dennis Bray, emeritus biology professor at Cambridge University wrote a good, easy to read book on the subject that does not overstate the similarities between biological and silicon methods of information processing.

WETWARE: A Computer in every Living Cell

>Some books that deserved to be read multiple times. This is one of three books I first read a few months ago, and I just revisited them all to find that they are still as good as I remembered them. See also my reviews of Reinventing Gravity and In Search of Time.

How does a single-cell creature, such as an amoeba, lead such a sophisticated life? How does it hunt living prey, respond to lights, sounds, and smells, and display complex sequences of movements without the benefit of a nervous system? This book offers a startling and original answer. I re-read this tome a couple of weeks ago as I pen these words, yet I'm still pondering the things it taught me on a daily basis. I would strongly recommend this little scamp to anyone and everyone. This is a “must read”!!! (I know that multiple exclamation marks are the sign of a feeble brain, but I don't care!)

Wetware: A Computer in Every Living Cell is an incredibly thought-provoking book. The author, Dennis Bray, writes in a very clear, understandable, yet vivid style. Early in the book we are introduced to the amoeba. Even though this is only a single-celled creature, it can “crawl” around, hunt for food, and respond to external stimuli like lights and sounds and smells… all without muscles or a nervous system.

We want the truth about election integrity, but Dinesh D'Souza's new film "2000 Mules" isn't it.

​

The film “2000 Mules” uses a flawed analysis of cell phone geo-location data and ballot drop box surveillance footage to try and prove election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

The movie suggests Democrat-organized “mules” were paid to illegally collect and drop off ballots in key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

​

The movie’s evidence is a combination of anonymous accounts and improper analysis of cell phone location data, which is not precise enough to confirm that somebody deposited a ballot into a drop box.

​

The movie was produced by conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza and uses research from the Texas-based nonprofit True the Vote, which has spent months lobbying states to use its findings to change voting

The truly independent of mind and spirit never listen to these voices. They can’t. They will carve their own paths, which will end up in sorrow and tears most likely. Sometimes madness. Not because it is wrong to have adventures but because that is the human fate, against which they determined long ago to take up arms. They are monsters. Lovable monsters, sometimes, but always monsters. Rebel angels. Reprobates. Rock stars. You name it. We admire them, and hope that they fail, not because of who they are, primarily, but because of how their success or failure makes our own ambitions look petty. In its thirst for order and control, our society today has a special bone to pick with these people, who are mostly though not always male—meaning that they are racist, sexist, white supremacist, egocentric, narcissistic transphobes. To which I answer, is the world really better off without monsters? I don’t think so.
