Maybe being conscious isn’t merely about experiencing the world, it might be the brain’s way of building a unified picture of where we are within it.

The strange part is that we still don’t know why that picture feels like anything at all.

We usually think of consciousness as the thing that makes experience feel like something.

But what if consciousness also has a practical function?

[Ehsan Badakhshi @ehsan_badakhshi]

And it makes me wonder how much of what we call understanding actually happens before we become aware of it.

[Ehsan Badakhshi @ehsan_badakhshi]

If parts of the brain can process meaning and predict language while we’re unconscious, then consciousness might not be as necessary for “understanding” as we intuitively think. https://t.co/BsGjU7bHKt

Most growth doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from seeing better what’s already here.

For decades, biology textbooks have enshrined a simple rule: DNA is made by copying a template. After one enzyme unzips a DNA double helix into separate strands, another called a polymerase builds a complementary sequence, base by base, for each strand. Presto: two copies of the original DNA.

But new research into how bacteria defend themselves from viruses now shows this synthesis rule isn’t absolute.

Now, a team describes a bacterial enzyme that synthesizes DNA without a nucleic acid template, using its own structure as a guide.

@thatgirl_Nin منم شب‌ها مدام کابوس می‌بینم و از خواب می‌پرم. این اواخر فقط توانسته بودم به خواب پناه ببرم اما حالا حتی خواب هم مرا پس زده است و دیگر همین پناهگاه را هم ندارم.
