I think we are MUCH more than that > "no more than"? Wow! As far as I can tell, the evolved biological process is simply unimaginably amazing, let alone the swirling pile of quantum tunnelling black hole inflationary anti-gravity universe from which it sprang. You must have a pretty jaundiced view of life if you think the evolved biological process is a bit of a yawn. I think that that is plenty to be going on with, without inventing fantasy spook stuff to go along with it. People can't even do anti-gravity yet, let alone spring DNA into life from a stew of methane and a pile of rocks. We have trouble enough getting CDMA up and running, and OFDM is still only getting tuned up. Re "What's coming", and us not knowing the future, on the contrary, most people are clueless about the future, but that doesn't mean we all are. Some people watch things happen and wonder what happened. Some people watch things happen and can see what happened. Some people help make things happen. Some people think and create what happens. If one whacks a rock with a big hammer, one isn't seeing "what may be coming", one is whacking the rock and busting it in two and what is coming, not may be coming, is two halves to stack into a wall. Similarly, when one produces swarms of OFDM-powered, CDMA-tuned, mobile cyberspace devices all hooked up into a vast web, one isn't guessing what's coming. One is defining what's coming. It is coming. Coming ready or not. Most people are not even dimly aware of it. Nature didn't reach the end stage of "what may be coming" when humans climbed out of the trees. One only needs to examine one's hairy gibbon-like arms with prehensile fingers, furry back, and obvious relationship to chimps to see that there is more work to be done. Check out the functioning of the average mind, or even the best minds that exist, and see if you don't think they are somewhat less than highly tuned engines of perception and perfection. The very best brains on Earth struggle to make CDMA work. Few people can chant the Shroedinger equation for fun on the way to work. They can't even make an anti-gravity device, though nature made a big one longgggg ago. I'm working on it. If you want to buy shares in it, send lots of loot. My prototype is still in the design phase, but I'm sure I'll have it zipping around any time now. Mqurice
