Weird post that has nothing to do with DNA but whatever. RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

Is that a camoflauged Kraken?

This reminds me of the theory that mushrooms or spores or fungi are driving the show here on earth through their manipulation of life. I'll see if I can't find the video that I saw that talked about it.

Isn't there a species of ants that this happens to?

I started The Last of Us and then got pulled away from it. Gotta get back to that one.

There are lots of possibilities, but only those that perpetuate themselves will continue to exist. Random chance with numerous chances you tend to try a lot of possibilities. Most will not work long term, but some will. No divine purpose needed to explain what we see.

I am talking about the MTHFR gene mutation. It would be passed on from us. To do with midline deformities. So like, tongue tie, stork mark, sugar bug, lip tie, belly button hernia, reflux.

The only way you can be sure is to get tested.

Watership Down was a novel about a group of rabbits forced to flee from their burrows and find a new place to live. The book explains rabbit cosmology, which naturally places rabbits at the center of the universe with God. When I think about human beings, sometimes I wonder if we are not the rabbits of the universe, putting human beings at the center of everything. But even here, are we not taking a photograph in time and saying "that's the way it is?" RNA came before DNA. Who is to say that a further change might occur: Son of DNA?

Lately I've been thinking that consciousness drives everything. Who cares about DNA if you are not conscious enough to be aware of DNA? Consciousness may not necessary for anything to exist, but to be aware of the existence of anything you have to have some form of consciousness.

The Necroscope Series. Brian Lumley. I highly recommend it, great horror novels about "vampires" that got parasitized by spores from mushrooms. Really good dark horror series and lots of history of Vlad and Medieval Times... lots of sex and gore.
