 Aha! Thanks for the question. I was talking about the Universe
 being alive and struggling to devise a way to learn Everything There Is
 To Know. After messing with molecules, minerals, blue green alge, life,
 plants, animals, instincts, language/intelligence, consciousness--
 it's still a long way from Home but Humans may be the closest yet...
 Consciousness! What an idea!

 A baby with an infinite about of time to play with her infinite
 rescouces...

 Did! The Baby was mankind of course, and we as a race are still very
 young...
