P: Good, good! But why stop at cells?

Why not slide down the slippery slope

to genes? Cells, are mechanisms to pass

on genes; genes, in turn, pass on chromosomes,

and those are nothing but DNA and RNA strings.

So ultimately, it's just information trying to perpetuate

itself, and in so doing, changing into more complex

forms. And so, here we sank, from an ineffable self

to cellular life, and from life to the inorganic, and

deeper yet, to the ineffability, again, of information.

A lovely round trip around the mulberry bush of

an ineffable unknown beautifully decorated with

colorful words.
