that would also explain why the MOQ is attractive - just as the cell was
freed by accepting a biological existance, and the existance of an
orginism freed a single cell and increased it's beleived lifespan
dramaticly, so too the existance of the social and intelectual levels sort
of give us a life everafter - after i this cell die, i the organism is
still here, after i the organism dies, i the society am still here, after
i the society dies, i the intelect am still here.
