I'm going to make it worse for you guys.

It's good to have a utopia vision.

I'm going to make it worse for you guys.

You ready?

Brian, I'm going to make it worse for you.

So when you, I'm going to overly simplify this, but life is simply described as negative entropy.

It can only exist so long as it's in a greater system of entropy.

That is, when we look at the universe and what we exist in,

It is the coalescing of free energy into complex systems at an ever-increasing scale.

So you have particles becoming atoms, atoms becoming elements, elements becoming compounds, compounds becoming molecules, molecules becoming eventually, for some reason, self-replicating proteins become single-celled organisms.

Single-celled organisms eventually become multicellular organisms.

Multicellular organisms eventually create ecosystems where they create

abstract systems that exist within each other for the purpose of expanding their own.

A squirrel plants a nut, a tree grows, the tree drops a nut, the squirrel eats it.

Tell me more about that.

And then humans create abstract language and ideas, which are complex systems that don't even exist in physical reality.

And thus, when you look at the single-celled organism, the first point of life after the self-propagating protein, it is free to do whatever it wants.

But once it becomes part of the multicellular organism, it must not deviate.

What do we call cells in the human body that deviate from their plan?

And what do we do to cancer?
