Ow, my brain!
I've seen this before but never been able to watch the whole thing. It's just too painful.
How far can you get before your brain hurts?

I made it to 3:24, but that was because I walked over and poured myself a cup of coffee before shutting her off.
What bullshit.

I had to stop and start it a few times. Then I fast forwarded to the end.
Alas, I'm afraid it may have caused some damage to my, um, brainium thingy.

I also began to think about the concepts of energy and how our body has many types of transducers. Our eyes-the transducer of light, our ears the transducer of sound, and our skin- the transducer of touch. These mechanisms convert energy into useable forms of information that is taken through our computer system to be processed, analyzed, and utilized.
When we consider the whole of man we can even make a further leap that mass in the universe by definition is matter, matter is substance, the substance of man is cells, and cells can be broken down into compounds, compounds into elements, and elements into tiny particles of energy called electrons, protons, neutrons, and sub-atomic particles held together by an invisible force such that what may look like a physical body is merely energy. And according to physics, energy cant be created or destroyed only transformed from one state to another. When one applies this to the human condition, can we then say that dis-ease, dis-order, dys-function is then only a transformation of energy.

We can say it all we want...and it still won't be true.
