Just with blobs of chemicals, again. So the way this works is, you have a simple system of five chemicals here, a simple system here. When they hybridize, you then form something that's different than before, it's more complex than before, and you get the emergence of another kind of lifelike behavior which

hybridize it to it we get a unique fingerprint if you will quantitatively of what genes are turned on in that sample now we do this over and over again this process for any given brain were taking over a thousand samples for each brain this area shown here is an area called the hippocampus

I'm just there you go so wax balls are known to high five inches sorry are known to hybridize and which means that a lot of them are probably very very closely related and it's it happened in

Douglas Coupland
Canadian Author
I decided at 40 I was wasting entire chunks of my brain and didn't want to blow my one chance on Earth. I'm glad I made that decision. Writing is largely about time, while visual art is largely about space. Sometimes, as with film, you can hybridize, but I think it's basically the space part of my brain wanting equal footing with the time part.
