"Biology is the quantum mechanical magnification of uncertainty into macrophysical space..." - Terence Mckenna

"...so that essentially we're chemical systems that, by some means yet to be understood, amplify quantum mechanical uncertainty to dimensions such as we see, and that permits these emergent properties and systems and morphologies to show themselves. And that's the trick... Time will perfect matter."

The problem with listening to McKenna is that I invariably come out the other end convinced I'll never be bright enough to know exactly what the hell he's talking about. Want-To-Be-Smarter.
