Guido van Rossum

Isn't it interesting that you see the same thing appearing at different levels, though, because you have cells that create new cells, and eventually that builds a whole organism, but then the animal or the plant or the human has its own mechanism of replication, right?

that is sort of connected in a very complicated way to the mechanism of replication of the cells.

And then if you look inside the cell, if you see how DNA and proteins are connected, then there is yet another completely different mechanism whereby proteins are mass-produced.

using enzymes and a little bit of code from DNA.

And of course, viruses break into it at that level.

It is fascinating to see what abstraction levels

are built on top of individual humans yeah and how you have like whole societies that that sort of have a similar self-preservation i don't know what it is instinct nature abstraction

as the individuals have and the cells have.

Take your licks.
