- We are the medium through which the phenomenon of cellular life propagates itself
- Our bodies have a purpose: to maximize the chance of the survival of our genes (by fucking or childrearing)
- Maybe consciousness helps; maybe its just a side-effect
- Outside of that, it's kind of choose-your-own adventure
- The human experience derives from the body; poetically, our body gives shape to our soul
- Maybe the soul is appeased by fulfilling our corporeal destiny: to nourish and refine our mind and body; to be a good steward (host and chaperone) to Life
