Ok. Got home. Spent some time at work looking at endosymbiotic mitochondria. Our mitochondria, in every cell of ourselves is powered by something that evolved from bacteria and is an endosymbiont!? And. Also for my asthma the gut biome. Anyway plopped the convo on my partner's lap. His response:
"Does your consciousness exist independent of your parasite load? Are you the vehicle for moving parasites from one organism to another, or are you the parasite?" Also.... he says the game Plague, Inc has a virus that creates a religion?!
I think I need To brush up on my biology and terminology, because while I find all this fascinating, I know a lot is going over me head. Life is fascinating. All life.
