So our relationship is symbiotic or parasitic, or both? Without these body bacteria we die. And humans have a large portion of bacterial DNA in our own DNA. What really is going on here? This relationship has been going on for how many millions of years or should I say billion? Sometimes people don't want to accept possibilities, for example how the human species may be the result of monkeys mating with pigs, or some form of transpermia or aliens tweaking our DNA. It has to be pure clean Darwinian evolution without any silly distractions. Face it - microbes dominate us in every way. They've been around billions or years on earth and how long have people? You can't get rid of them. You can shoot them, nuke them, try to escape into space, dig underground, freeze in Antarctica, inject yourself with chemicals, they rule and dominate us. Who has more intelligence then? Microbes created and domesticated us for their own purposes... We can learn from them. Let's build a core brain out of microbes to drive Cyc and give it speech recognition with TTS interfaces so we can learn from their omniscience :) John ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
