For 6/7ths of the history of life on Earth… there were -no brains-. What, then, was the organ of knowing? The entire digestive system. And guess what? According to Lynn Margulis, Carl Sagan’s highly successful mating partner, -this is how animal life began-. With -undigested food that survived, and became an evolutionary symbiont-. She proved this is -the source of animals-. And, thus, brains. See? Thankfully, we flushed ours down the toilet. Because we believe an age of science that is simply not yet sophisticated enough to approach biology with the respect it is due. You have a biocognitive linear accelerator in your belly. It is the entire disgestive tract. One end -speaks language-. The other? Intelligence. Oh how we got this backwards. Too literally to imagine…

See?

You have a biocognitive linear accelerator in your belly. It is the entire disgestive tract. One end -speaks language-. The other?

Intelligence.

Oh how we got this backwards. Too literally to imagine…
