The chaotic banality of life.
I just spent two minutes of my life watching this: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4muob_zoom-into-a-tooth_tech.
the thing that blows me away is how apparently solid, “real” objects are made up entirely of space between such microscopic objects. How the perception of solidity is entirely manufactured by the needs of our consciousness and perceptions.
Yet: the self-organizing principles of the smallest bits of matter (and whatever else there is in the world) gives me hope: how can there be a god? The inclination of the universe is to organize itself. It’s only when our chaotic destructive consciousness (a fabrication of itself—how it makes us thinks we’re unified, rational, self-determining beings) that we need to look for a top-down unifier, rather than a bottom-up one.
