I dunno why, but lately, I've found the idea of impregnating a girl very, very hot. Must mean my biological clock is stelling me to start a family.

Technically, a female is born with all the eggs she will ever carry, so a part of you has existed since shortly before your mother was born.

The atoms that are part of my body were created from the Big Bang, so haven't I existed since the dawn time?

Vein Melter is defiantly a different piece when compared to the others, more simpler and repetitive, but i think its a nice way to end the album.

It depends on how pessimistic my current outlook is. :P

Well if you were aborted, then you wouldn't exist to have that pessimistic outlook to wish you were aborted, therefore you have a logical contradiction, good sir Tongue

But you only wanted my opinion. Tongue

Maybe if we still used turntables, but I always jump to another artist after Sly.

The scientific principle of what it means to be alive confuses the hell out of me.

Consider a simple single celled organism. It splits into two, and bam, you have two lives.

But human beings are much more complex. For one, we (at one point) existed as two lives, one living in our father (a sperm), and one living inside of our mother (an egg). These merge and become one life, and then start multiplying. For a while, we are just a bunch of cells, but slowly we grow into a full human being.

As a human being, we are actually walking ecosystems with blood cells, skin cells, bacteria, etc. living on us and to some degree or another, being controlled by a central brain which is more cells. If we are female, we are born with a ton of eggs, which if fertilised will grow into another human but which until then are just bottled potential. 

Anyways, what happens to the cells that were once the sperm and the egg? Cells die and are replaced all the time. At any point in time, are those cells still living in you? If they are not, are you still the same life that you were when you were forming inside your mothers stomach? Or are you some other conglomeration of life that is a continuity of that previous life, only because of the fact that some of your cells would have lived at the same time as those old cells before the old cells died, sharing experiences with them, then passing along those experiences to the next cells before they die, and so on? 

Much like how Ford probably doesn't have any employees from when Henry Ford was alive but it's still a company that makes cars, but it has changed a lot in other ways. 

I believe I've read somewhere (unverified) that every seven years, your skin will have completely regrown - that is, in seven years from now, all the skin cells in your body will be cells that don't exist now.

Is there really such a thing as a human as one continuous life? Is that what a soul is? The continuity that connects all these little lives into one big life?

Me too. But my wife doesn't want kids, and I'm not sure I do either.

However, I do know I want grandkids. Isn't that odd?

According to everyone I've known with grandkids, they are a whole lot more fun to have than your own kids, so maybe not.

Eh, I think you guys should just buck up and have some kids. I think humans are sometimes at a disadvantage that our intellectual nature lets us disregard our biological programming. But if you fell like that, chances are if you never have kids, you're going to really regret it.

It explores a similar theme except is about cyborgs instead.

Whenever I think of having grandkids, I think of Christmas. Every Christmas, my grandparents invite all their children and grandchildren (and now some great grand children) and we have a big family Christmas in their house, have gift exchanges and eat foods and it's one of my favorite parts of Christmas which is one of my favorite parts of the year. obviously though, being the "end of the line" as it currently stands, a lot of the people currently involved in these events, such as my grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles will eventually not be there anymore. I don't want to be 60 and having Christmas alone. It feels so anticlimactic.

This is pretty much 100% of what I think about when I realise I want grandchildren.
