But Eddie, are we not more than the sum of our parts? It seems to me that the *essence* of being human is not accounted for in our environments nor our finite DNA sequences. Maybe you are right, and maybe I just *want* to believe that there is more to being a human than to act out a script that was written at the moment of conception, but that view seems quite hopeless. Isn't there some room in the "program" for each individual to have some randomness that is unique, unscripted.

I do struggle with the idea that this might be all there is, but I can't bring myself to really believe it, (although I don't have any model or data to back me up). Perhaps I suffer from a DENIAL of a bleak reality, but I see a gap between apes and humans in the realm of self awareness, "civility", and sensitivity that I can't explain.
