Boss
A word of introduction.
When I was working more or less alone in Zaïre, I had with me the first book of Stephen Jay Gould, "The Burgess Shales;
It changed my way of looking at our life.
It is believed that evolution may have gone from simple organic compounds to proteins then to prokaryotes then to eucaryotes then from these unicellular organisms to pluri-cellular organism then step wise to different types of organized Forms of Livings, one of them, the mammals, being the dominant form today.
I have gone to next stage, the Glub, where one cannot speak of a single individual but of a network of nodes, this form of living being called the Glub.
Basically, I have made the web into a living organism.
While I try to treat it as a joke, it is very serious. We can see it happening already.
Why does the subject interest me?
I try to find an answer to the question we all ask:
"Why do I love you so much?"
If the Darwinian theory of evolution does not meet with your total enthousiasm, please remember that the mathematics of probability have not yet been applied to evolution and further, most probably we shall never understand from where came the initial Life Model.

Good afternoon students
Apparently the course in Holistic Post Mortem is gaining in popularity, well it is nice to see such a big Glub mass for a subject which deals with problems affecting our remote ancestors, the Humans that existed before the Universal Virus Pandemy.
I am sorry that you could not stay here yesterday after we studied the appearance and growth of the Two Dark Holes of Love and Power in the Humans but as you know I had important technical matters to discuss with the little red haired freckled Glub Bubble and I am sorry that we were the only two that could see how the Humans solved their problems;
Well, students, I told the assistants not to clear up so that you could see the results of Love and Power Black Holes affecting Humans;
as you can see, all that remains are bits and pieces, it really looks rather gory, but you can deem yourself lucky that you did not have to listen to all the shouting that went on for hours between these Humans on the subject of Love and what they called belonging to one another, whatever that could mean, until finally they solved their problems of sharing one another by tearing one another to pieces.
Apparently the second plus Human strangled the first plus Human, then the minus human managed to discover a knife we had left their on purpose and stabbed the second plus Human but, as this minus Human was rather clumsy, the second Plus Human managed to grab it and bang it's head on the floor and crash it before dying. I must say it was rather entertaining even if I never had any doubts as to the outcome.
You shall see next week when we rerun this scene with two minus Humans, one not yet developed Human who both claim to be their infant, whatever that could be, and a third plus Human who both claim to be a father, most probably they all refer to some kind of very unhealthy fertilization process that was common in those Dark Ages.
Well today we are going to look at what the human called drugs.
To tell you the truth, you will not understand more at the end of this lecture than at the beginning and if you understand anything you should be rather worried as it can only mean that some Human gene remains in your Glub; I hope not.
Humans, for reasons that I fear we shall never discover, had some idea that they should live as long as possible, that they should not die, that it was better that another human died rather than themselves, all ideas that I can only propose to you as it does not make any sense in our Glub world.
You see, students, one human saw himself as something special, something different from another human and I fear that the truth is that each human saw itself as something more special, more important than another human.
Well, I see that you students find all this most bewildering, I just ask you to accept this as something we shall never be able to understand. But I promise you that this very strange religion, oh yes, sorry, this is one word that was very used during Human time, that this religion had very amusing consequences which we shall look into during this lecture.
I have had the assistants prepare some sets of plus Humans, you know the one with the down bulge and minus Humans, you know the one with the two top bulges.
I have asked the assistants to prepare the Humans this morning, so that we can advance more rapidly.
Let us move into a surrounding that they used to call an Office, and please remember that we are separated from them by the Force Field and are not in any form of danger.
Well, students here we are, rather gloomy, is it not? If we can understand their documents, even the Humans found these conditions to be barely acceptable.
Here we have two minus Humans and three plus Humans. But if you look carefully, you can see that one plus Human is sitting in a kind of enclosure, a glass case, this must be the equivalent In the Dark Ages of our enclosed Force Fields.
Now look, as you can see, these humans are not glubby at all, they consider themselves to be different and the one in the glass cage believes that he is superior to the other humans and that he can give orders to them. In their words, this Human is more important than the other ones. If you look carefully, you see that the Chief Human is holding himself straighter, as if he is higher than the others.
Now, let us start the experiment. Operator, can you kindly move the time-space coordinates for the Top Human and one of the Minus Humans?
Good, well done!
Look how bewildered these humans look now;
The one who thought he was the Top Human is now sitting in the chair of the lower minus Human and he looks round and cannot understand;
Even more curious is the fact that the Minus sub Human that was shifted to the top position finds this far less bewildering and appears to be adapting very well to the new situation.
Now look students how these materials will develop.
Look how the former Chief appears to be crumpling, losing in stature, weight, substance while the reverse process takes place with the one that has become Chief.
You see, students, these Humans need during their days and nights constant flow of something they call importance, we believe that this is some kind of white drug they inhale or inject or smoke or drink and that in some way it gives them a sense of importance. As soon as you change the proportion of importance circulating in a Human, the whole system disintegrates.
Students, look at the former Chief who has shrunk so much and in spite of that is trying to enforce his lost power on the other Humans who now appear to completely ignore him and the more they ignore him the more he shrinks.
Now wait for a few moments, Operator, can you accelerate this experiment three phases forward, that's it, yes thank you;
As you can see, the former Chief is now using something which is contained in a glass bottle which he is apparently trying to conceal from the other Humans. That seems to give him back some of his importance, but the other Humans do not appear to notice it.
Now look at the two minus Humans. See how the new Chief is calling in the minus sub Human and see how the new Chief is growing and glowing and see how its former minus colleague is beginning to shed a lot of water all over and getting all mushy and disgusting.
Now let us advance a few more stages Operator.
See how the new Chief calls in one of the plus Humans and how carefully the door is locked; See how they appear to be performing some kind of ritual and dancing, probably again some kind of language developed for reproduction purposes. See how they now perform this rubbing of epidermis and see how much they both seem to be growing in height and substance.
Well, I see that time is running very fast so let us move to sequence ten, please Operator.
Now the new minus Chief has called in another plus Human and the same function appears to be performed;
Have you noticed anything?
Yes, blue Glub?
Very smart of you, blue Glub, indeed the former partner of the Chief has shrunk, seems to be very ill, is getting transparent, it is losing substance.
Now, wait just for a moment, it will go very fast so you have to watch carefully.
See, now it starts, see how the former Human grabs some kind of weapon in his desk, is running towards the Chief's Office, see how he shoots first at the minus Chief Human, then at the plus Human and see how this action has given him back substance, glow, importance.
I never get tired of this sequence; I repeat it with one set after another, I vary the compositions, I vary the proportions, and always it ends in the same way.
And see now how the plus Human having killed the two other humans sits in the Chief Chair and glows and grows.
As they said in those days, being important is the strongest drug known to humans.
Well, it is time for you to go back to your duties, but I would like to see if Blue Glub and Red Haired Glub have really understood the implications of this experiment and I will ask them to remain with me so that we can try and re-enact this scene and see if we can better understand it.
Thank you Glubs.
ps: Rony Brauman, former Director of "Medecins Sans Frontières" is quoted as saying
"that of all the drugs, power is the hardest."
