I swear I mentioned that quote to you in a comment almost a year ago..that quote on page xii of the forward.. “…mitotic cells of all nucleated organisms harbor bacterial spirochete remnants.”

But YES!!! It was a WHAT THE FUCK moment!!

but here is the rest of that sentence "The beginning of the symbiotic mechanism for the evolution of...... OUR SENSORY CELLS!!!!

Anyway, there was something else on that page that I underlined as I am looking at it right now, that was I guess my ARC FLASH moment..

"microbial wonders...they evolved to use every niche, every source of atoms, energy and electrons, on Earth..."

So when I hear that, I think of the IT from Bit..... John Archibald Wheeler physicist, proposed

"It from bit symbolises the idea that every item of the physical world has at bottom — at a very deep bottom, in most instances — an immaterial source and explanation; that what we call reality arises in the last analysis from the posing of yes-no questions and the registering of equipment-evoked responses; in short, that all things physical are information-theoretic in origin and this is a participatory universe."

Is Wheeler saying that, at bottom, the universe is information, not matter? Yes

Which led me to feeling some kind of validation for the SIM. The first microbial forms of "life" where the first Bits to build the SIM... and maybe these spirochetes are the parasitic entity that hacked the system, invaded and embedded into the bits, that are building this Reality in their

image.

Anyway, fascinating post,I haven't even read the whole thing, because I had to stop and mention more of what was said in relation to your quote, and that reading it, I recognized what i had been learning from you.

What I learned about mitochondria in this book was what really made an impression on my understanding about who we are.

I read the title and thought, "Goodness, what has he gone and done to himself now?"

Great post.
