First, there's genetically engineered seeds and
organisms.
In fact, if we count all the individual organisms, we would come at much larger numbers.
We're not used to it, and we see insects as these
organisms
that are very different from us.
And if you look at some of the
organisms
that have evolved to live in deserts, there are some amazing examples of adaptations to water scarcity.
Once they could do that with cells, they could do it with
organisms.
For the first time in the history of this planet, we are able to directly design
organisms.
I'm talking, of course, about living
organisms.
Living
organisms
are created by chemistry.
So, DNA contains information about how to make living
organisms.
It's accumulating new ways of making living
organisms
because some of those errors work.
Then from about 600 to 800 million years ago, multi-celled
organisms
appear.
But DNA had actually generated a faster way of learning: it had produced
organisms
with brains, and those
organisms
can learn in real time.
I became enamored of the power of evolution, and I realized something very fundamental: in most of the existence of life in single-celled organisms, each cell simply divides, and all of the genetic energy of that cell is carried on in both daughter cells.
But at the time multi-celled
organisms
come online, things start to change.
But anyone who's ever had or knows small children knows, they're incredibly complex
organisms.
It was during this time that there was increased calcium, iron and silicon in the environment, and
organisms
learned how to make hard materials.
It's particularly astonishing because each one of these organisms, each subsystem, each cell type, each gene, has evolved in its own unique environmental niche with its own unique history.
So there are some instructions that are extremely valuable to these organisms, and their frequency is going to be high.
Growing a mushroom is also part of a larger practice of cultivating decomposing
organisms
called decompiculture, a concept that was developed by an entomologist, Timothy Myles.
I wanted to cultivate this perspective just like the mushrooms, so I formed the Decompiculture Society, a group of people called decompinauts who actively explore their postmortem options, seek death acceptance and cultivate decomposing
organisms
like the Infinity Mushroom.
So not only do individual protocells have behavior, what we've interpreted as behavior in this system, but we also have basically population-level behavior similar to what
organisms
have.
And what we are is we're at a point in time which is analogous to when single-celled
organisms
were turning into multi-celled
organisms.
But we also start out as aquatic
organisms.
If you were to descend into the 95 percent of the biosphere that's livable, it would quickly become pitch black, interrupted only by pinpoints of light from bioluminescent
organisms.
And if you turn the lights on, you might periodically see spectacular
organisms
swim by, because those are the denizens of the deep, the things that live in the deep ocean.
They range from 65 to 98 percent for these major groups of organisms, as shown in the dark blue bars.
And what we see is that for coastal tags, for those
organisms
that live near the shoreline, they're most diverse in the tropics.
So our level of knowledge is much less for other groups of
organisms.
Marine
organisms
do not care about international boundaries; they move where they will.
We now know those tiny cells are the most abundant photosynthetic
organisms
on earth.
