Tubulins are targets for anticancer drugs like Taxol and the "Vinca alkaloid" drugs such as vinblastine and vincristine. The anti-gout agent colchicine binds to tubulin and inhibits microtubule formation, arresting neutrophil motility and decreasing inflammation. The anti- fungal drug Griseofulvin targets mictotubule formation and has applications in cancer treatment. Visions of myself and Pat in bathchairs at the convalescent home for mad techno-speculants needing to finalise string theory to cure our gout! I should think I would concede my Kaliber Yawn theory that string theories are an illusion created by a lack of alcohol in such circumstances.
Arguments on life and consciousness seem to imply 'why' questions to me - perhaps necessitate them. Memory sort of links to a world of logical necessity (a view from Leibniz). I don't think this big - I'm more concerned we get on with better decision-making that is a contribution to an open society - without this we are cast into some kind of 'killing competition' even if we just leave it to evolution to wipe us out.
