Creative Bacteria

On the microscopic level, you are mostly bacteria. In fact, you comprise more bacterial cells than human ones. You might say you are the way bacteria write songs, marvel at sunsets, and invent stories for which you are willing to kill and die.

On the macroscopic level, you are more than 98 percent chimpanzee. That bit that isn’t chimp allows you to climb out of the trees and walk on the moon, send probes up your butt and to the outer planets of our solar system, create reality television, and live in fantasy stories for which you are willing to kill and die.

On the cosmic level, you are the local expression of 13.8 billion years of evolutionary play, experimentation, accident, and surprise. Almost 14 billion years of play, and what do we have? Mostly rock. But look over here—chimps with nukes! How cool is that!

Yes, how cool is that?
