There is around 714 quadrillion times more microbes than there are humans in the world. As a conscious being the odds of been born a human is far too unlikely compared to the odds of been born a microbe.
So as you are a human, you must conclude there is a reason for this, surly its not just pure chance. I theorize microbes are not conscious and you couldn't have been born them. If microbes aren't conscious, we conclude consciousness evolved later in evolutionary history. Perhaps at fishes.
@OUlearn Thanks for reply. So in the video of microbes entering a white blood cell, could I substitute the words like so?
"but instead of the bacterium being killed, it multiplies inside the cell. Eventually the white blood cell dies"
with
"Most of the time" (the above occurs) "but sometimes the white blood cell does manage to prevent bacteria reproducing enough to sustain its numbers. Meanwhile the white blood cell kills the rest in the usual way it does with less vigorous microbes"
5:00 to 6:00 This part of the video explains how black death infects and then kills humans. It mentions how few people survive. By what mechanism do those people survive if white blood cells are overcome from the inside by the microbes?
@TableWolfMusic (1/2) Whether people are able to recover from an infection is basically a numbers game: can your white blood cells multiply rapidly enough to eliminate the bacteria, or do the bacteria multiply so fast that they overwhelm your cells? The very few people who were able to survive black death did so because their bodies' responses to the infection were robust enough to overcome the numbers of microbes...
@TableWolfMusic (2/2) ...This means either that somehow they were able to produce more white blood cells to fight the bacteria, or the bacteria multiplied more slowly in those people and so never reached overwhelming numbers.
