I usually think of LIFE as a slimemold that's about 4 billion
  years old. it works well for me because it lets me be a part of
  Life, Humanity, Gaia and all that good stuff, while ALSO just
  being a barely distinguishable cell that eats and poops and
  processes and gets reabsorbed into the organism. It lets me be
  as important as I want to be and as nothing as I want to be,
  depending on my mood at the time. It amuses me especially when
  talking to ppl on the internet. The slime mold also extends via
  wifi and wires and when two people are of like mind on a topic,
  it just means our chemical processing is in sync with each other
  across the span of the organism.

  In short, we're eating the same microbes (ideas) and having
  similar thoughts (food processing is at the same stage)
