More importantly, I'm not the biggest fan of putting my life on the world wide web. thank you for reading.
P.S. My paranoia is due to my upbringing. We don't trust them computers.

bio-week one
Howdy fellow aimcers. welcome to my blog.
I'm answering the question: Do we really understand our biological selves?
The crux of the question is in the interplay between the limit of information our "selves" can process and our awareness of that limit.
Since major questions of our evolution still have yet to answered, primarily how, when , where, for how long and to what end, I consider our knowledge as partial at best. The biggest question for me is, if we are the judge of what we are, how are we ever going to have an objective, scientific answer. Therefore all answers will be at a base level, a belief, an opinion. It might verifiable in the lab, but even our physicists our realizing that they tend to find what they are looking for. Translate that to an individual person, and our understanding of ourselves is greatly affected by the environment we surround ourselves in, namely our beliefs. So what we believe about ourselves becomes our selves, including our biological selves, since that definition will change over time.
