"The whole is more than the sum of its parts." - Aristotle.
The entire mass of humanity constantly distils to one being over-all.
This being is the moment-to-moment aggregate of who we think we are.
The clout of the collective over the individual is overwhelming - like a bag of marbles imposed upon a single marble.
Even under extreme pressure, the marble will maintain its integrity unless it discovers that it is not a marble at all.
Enter the psychotic realities of quantum mechanics -
Here and there and everywhere!
“I received a telephone call one day at the graduate college at Princeton from Professor Wheeler, in which he said, “Feynman, I know why all electrons have the same charge and the same mass” “Why?” “Because they are all the same electron!” ~ Richard Feynman.
