A voracious eater? Do you know how much food you would be willing to eat if you knew you wouldn’t just be eating your own feces? I know I wouldn’t. But I’m not sure I want to put that kind of thought into practice so I can enjoy my food and my body with all of its power.
The problem is that, at the same time, food is one of the only things that is the same size and shape around the world. So if you could eat the same amount of food as any other human, you would be able to eat as much as any other human. Which leads us to the next bit of “self-awareness”: we would also be able to eat as much food as any other human if we knew we would not just be having our own waste matter.
The problem, of course, is that we have to eat. Now that you’re aware that we are all going to die, there’s less reason to eat. This doesn’t mean that we don’t eat, it just means that we eat differently than other animals. So, instead, we have to make other people eat.
The food chain is pretty simple. We start with other people eating. We are the ones who eat the dead ones we ate, so we are also the ones who eat the dead ones they eat, and the dead ones they eat, and the dead ones they eat, and so on. We are the ones who keep going.
Like other animals, we have a brain in our skull. This is a large part of the reason we are capable of thinking at all. It’s an extremely complex organ. We also have many other parts in our bodies we use to make sense of the world, including the brain. It is these parts that make us who we are.
In a way it is like the human brain, in that it is an incredibly complex organ. But the human brain is also much more complex than just a few simple neurons. The human brain contains a staggering number of brain cells, trillions of them. Each cell of the brain contains the smallest of pieces of protein, but the complex arrangement of those pieces together is the brain. We have a very complex brain.
Brain cells are all over your body, and each of those cells takes in information from the surrounding environment and sends it to the next cell. So a single cell can actually send a chain reaction over the entire body, sending a signal to every other cell in the body. Now imagine the whole complex organ is in a single cell. That’s a million times more complicated than a simple cell.
But that complex arrangement of our brain is also something that can be the basis for an incredible range of things that we do. We are able to store information in a very compact space inside of the brain. So if I want you to be able to see and take in all the sights around you, I can put a computer chip in your brain, and that computer chip will be able to see the whole world around you, and your brain will know how to interpret that information.
That’s the same principle that has allowed us to use cameras and the Internet as tools to capture and share photos. And now it’s possible for your brain to use the Internet to learn about you (and to help you learn about you). And we’re not just talking about computers; we’re talking about your brain, and the Internet, and the Internet of things, and the Internet of everything, and we’re not just talking about our brains.
