I did this thread a long long time ago and it was one of my favorites but it didn't take off.

I just had my mind blown. It's not new or anything it's like I just thought about it hard and then I was like phew!

From

Geneticist Paul de Bakker of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston is combing through the human genome to find those characteristics. It's a daunting endeavor. The genome comprises 3 billion coded pieces of information that determine who a person is. Some 99.9 percent of these pieces are the same in all people, but there are points of difference known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, pronounced "snips").

To realize that I differ from you by only .1% but we are vastly different people is like wow. The whole world is contained within .1%. That .1% contains all of our wars, religions, ideas, culture, social systems, economic systems, civilization, even what we put on our burgers and fries...everything we know about the spectrum of human behavior comes down to .1%. Such a small number but so powerful and sometimes insurmountable.

Infinitely in and infinitely out.

That really is interesting. I believe in the power of 1 (my sig). lol

Actually it would seem to be a higher deferential, that is what makes it amazing.
