How is me suggesting that when conscious, intelligent life forms at any level. of the hierarchy - single cells, organs, people, etc. -- unite to form a larger entity, that that larger entity then that births a new singular identity in that unity, a higher consciousness. Gee, that seems to be the whole becoming greater than the parts. Your suggestion that the whole is greater than the parts seems to actually support my theory. — ken2esq

You seem to have missed the meaning of "The whole is greater than its parts".
Fractals being misused in biology.

For example: If you hit a human with a hammer it makes a noise because it feels pain. Interestingly (or not) if you hit a rock with a hammer is also makes a noise. Can we conclude that the rock also feels pain, by analogy with the human? — bert1

Got damn we need to protest against the mining industry, all those hurt little rocks!!!

Point of order.

Feedback is not a place to have the discussion of a deleted topic. The mods have deleted the topic because it was poorly set out and argued. They have answered the feedback, and should have closed the thread already. The solution is to set it out more clearly and cogently in a new thread, or else move on.
