Hi Krimel, Nothing is a complex as a living brain? How about two living brains? You wouldn't call this planet more complex? After all, we are just a part of it. The way you speak is as though we humans were given some divine or Godlike power. Is our intelligence so unusual. All we are doing is mimicking everything else out there, using the same rules as everything else. If you are exulted to believing that your brain is different than a grasshopper, then more power to you. I certainly do not see any difference. Very subtle chemical fluxes are at work in our brains (distances measured in nanometers). What is so special about that? What about much larger fluxes, like condensation.
What we can and cannot do is under so much control. You may not accept this, so rage, rage against this fact. We play by the rules (or forces, or the divine as I'm sure you would say). There is nothing special, that is what makes this so incredibly wonderful! Ah, to be just falling rain. Don't worry though, I think you are special.

What makes your consciousness different from the falling rain. The falling rain is certainly more complex than your simple brain. [Krimel] Nothing in the observable universe is as complex as a living brain. Willblake2 Your ego is misleading you. Your interpretation is no more than a wind through a valley. But alas, when you are caught in the middle of it, it is hard to let go of the illusion. Just stop digging. [Krimel] Ah so, Grasshopper. As sand through the hourglass, so go the days of our lives.
