This'll be of interest to some of you. A TedTalk on biological systems showing something like proto-intelligence at the level of a few cells. Interesting parallels with computer programming, neural nets, all sorts. Go nuts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XheAMrS8Q1c

Nice link, uwot, thanks for posting it.

Of course, although it is fascinating, none of it is surprising to me.

Btw, why do you say "Sort of"?

The usual mischief. Or the usual wonder. You and I have very different interpretations of reality. How fabulous that the facts support either just as well eh?
