When you're first to a philosophy video, but you Kant think of anything witty or insightful to say.

Un-named concept -> Given a name (could be a language, symbol, sound, etc.) -> With an attached meaning -> And maybe even other meanings depending upon context -> And maybe even other names for those concepts. How all those concepts, names and meanings all inter-relate is the life we experience.

Followers of the Sumerian epic believe we were genetically modified by aliens. Now we find we have a fused second and third chromosome that differs us from all the great apes but not the Neanderthals. Then there are those that believe we live in a fractal simulation where time goes in circles: palingenesis. And now we want to GE the planet. Have we completed a great cycle and are back to the beginning? Will we make the same mistake again?

How can anyone be 'first' when we are all eternal? Modern science claims that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. This is either really true, or modern science is wrong. Modern science claims that we have new cells that come into existence inside of our body on a daily basis. This appears to be true. So, since we have a body with energy and cells in it: A part of us is eternally existent and a part of us is being born anew on a daily basis. Our current body extends from eternity past until now. Rising to a higher level of thought, the 'now' that we exist in is 'eternal'. We are currently residing in the 'eternal now'. We are all eternally consciously existent entities existing in the eternal now. So, how could anybody at all ever be 'first'? We are all equally eternal.
