Perhaps you're right. It wouldn't be the first time a PPR regular started a thread here that would have been more appropriate in another forum. In fact, now that I think about it, it isn't the first time Sand posted a link here that would have been more appropriate in CMST. The link posted in that thread, however, had a lot to do with the way math is taught which has something to do with politics and much of the comments (other than “great link, thanks”) were on that point.

My other problem is that I didn't see what you and Sand saw in the other member's posts. I could see things in the article that could relate to the religion part of PPR, such as the part I quoted in an earlier post. I agree that our bodies are ecosystems though I do not agree that we are not individuals.

Anyway, I concede the point.

It depends upon what you consider individuals. The article indicated that although our bodies exist in a multitude of microbial interaction each of us has a very individual constituency of all these microscopic creatures that interact to keep us functioning. I don't think religion was much of a topic in the article. I found the article fascinating for its implication that our human genetics was only a component in our existence, not the whole thing.

i liked the denunciation of the notion of "the individual" as it is currently understood. i also had no idea i was so diverse, heh.
