I'm glad you quoted Feynman. This is a very "Feynman" thing to think about, boundaries and edges and such.

Ever since learning that there are way, way more non-human cells living in our bodies, I've refined the way I view identity and systems and such. Just like Bohr said, reality is a system made up of things that don't seem "real" to us. Similarly, all those gut microbiome bacteria are part of this amazing system that is us.

Haha. You are right. This is a very Fineman thing to think about. I think I will write something on the gut microbiome down the line as well.

Would love to read that! If you want help, just give me a shout. Love thinking through those sorts of things.
