      Cells within cells within cells, interlinked

      source

        And blood-black nothingness began to spin… A system of cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within one stem… And dreadfully distinct against the dark, a tall white fountain played. Cells. Cells. Have you ever been in an institution? Cells. Cells. Do they keep you in a cell? Cells. Cells. When you’re not performing your duties do they keep you in a little box? Cells. Cells. Interlinked. Interlinked. What’s it like to hold the hand of someone you love? Interlinked. Interlinked. Did they teach you how to feel finger to finger? Interlinked. Interlinked. Do you long for having your heart interlinked? Interlinked. Interlinked. Do you dream about being interlinked? Interlinked. What’s it like to hold your child in your arms? Interlinked. Interlinked. Do you feel that there’s a part of you that’s missing? Interlinked. Interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Why don’t you say that three times: Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked.

    Non-anglophones, is this a thing you can relate to? I’ve never been told “das Mitochondrium ist das Kraftwerk der Zelle” or anything like it, at least not nearly to the extent that anglophones seem to, so much so that it’s forever burnt into their brain folds apparently.

      All of us who learned Spanish in the U.S. also know “¿Dónde está la biblioteca?”

      As a Canadian, I share your confusion. I think that phrase was just a common descriptor of mitochondria in US textbooks, or a catchy line in a popular US biology video.

      It’s just strange enough to make a big impression on bored students, so I’m not surprised it’s been memed so hard.

    This shit gives me existential dread and hope.

    Like the complexity of cells might as well be an alien civilization, but all that somehow results in something that it’s like to be me. That’s so fundamentally mysterious, all I can do is conclude that consciousness has to be the prior of the universe. So on the one hand I’m nothing, and on the other, maybe I’m immortal. I won’t know until I’m dead.

    • saimen@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      To add to that, similarly like there are microscopic and macroscopic processes we can only indirectly perveive, there are probably also processes on a much smaller and much larger timescale we can therefore only indirectly perceive.

      Like one cell could be the whole universe of some absurdly small conscious beings with a lifespan of less than a femtosecond.

      source
      • ynthrepic@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Utterly absurd, and yet we know this with far more certainty than the most well subscribed religions know anything. There are so laughably unimaginative too compared to this reality. And yet, the knowing is also a burden. 😅

    I did a podcas (I know 🙄), where we talked about how much better our civilization would run if we modeled it after a cell or organism. Like for example, only about 10% of the total amount of ATP generated by the mitochondria goes to the nucleus, so maybe the people in charge in America should only get about 10% of the total distributed wealth/resources
