to bring electrons into your mitochondria.

And what happens there is this beautiful sequence of reactions where you have electrons that were initially stuck on food by the plants, taking solar energy to stick electrons onto carbon, and then you make hydrocarbons, and then that's glucose or starch, and then oils, lipids, everything that

that's good fuel for mitochondria.

Those things, the food and the oxygen, converge inside the mitochondria.

And then finally, the electrons that were ripped off as CO2 is broken into oxygen are reunited in your mitochondria.

And so your mitochondria actually make water.

and then release CO2.

So they close the life cycle that we have with photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis makes oxygen and food, and then our mitochondria brings those things together, and then they release water and CO2, exactly what plants need.

So it's this beautiful cycle.

So when mitochondria do this,

is basically feeding unpatterned energy into the system.

And it starts with the mitochondria the same way that if you feed electricity into a Morse code, right, like teet, teet, teet, teet, teet, teet, you feed electricity, it's unpatterned energy, like food and biochemistry is to your body.

And then you, by pressing and releasing a little lever, right, with a specific pattern, what you're doing is you're patterning

electricity, which means nothing.

It's just raw current.

And then you pattern it in something that means something.

Short beeps, long beeps.

And then you can spell stuff.

You can communicate information.
