The first "1"

I'm a computer scientist at heart. My life and my experiences make me a computer scientist, every event up to this point in my life has made me perfect for it. I love the challenges it presents to me, and the entire concept is so natural to me because I see life as a computer scientist sees a program. Everything is interconnected and complexity comes from so many individual decisions adding up together to make something amazing and powerful. That's why successful and happy society is very much geared towards the individual, and individual freedoms. Every single human counts, just as every single binary digit counts. Sadly, though, I don't think we can ever find the smallest unit in the world because everything that exists is made up of it, and we don't have the power to access the tiny building block that exists. We're too high up on the scale to have access to the smallest piece. That would be like trying to use your arm to reach to the center of the earth from atop a mountain. We can only go so deep, and we can't reach that basic building block. Which leads me to the pursuit of knowledge. People get so frustrated when they can't know everything that exists. It's impossible for the human brain to know everything, there are too many concepts in too many people's lives that you just cant comprehend. Knowledge is finite, but being is infinite. Knowledge is the realization and understanding of being. And "being" isn't always a matter of being seen, it's a matter of existing, like an emotion, or an impulse, are both "beings" but are never really "known." This is why DNA fascinates me, DNA is the coding that creates life. DNA was created by chance, and it became so good at it's job that it took the cake on the evolutionary scale. There are still beings out there that don't have DNA, and they are much less advanced and develop much slower than DNA. This is because DNA closely follows the most basic rule of existence, and that is complexity and yes or no physically CREATES everything. Everything can be broken down into multiple "yes" or "no" questions or decisions. Each decision is so small but so significant stacked on top of each other. Just... take some time and think about how beautiful complexity can be when it comes together in a comprehensible fashion. Life is amazing, enjoy it for what it is. More on this later.
