If there were no living creatures capable of flying—insects or birds—on Earth, we would probably never have become familiar with the concept of flight.
Flying became our dream because we considered the birds’ capability to fly and our disability to repeat their behaviour.
Therefore, insects and birds were our inspirers and first teachers in flight, and we owe our ability to fly to them.
If it weren’t for the discovery of Slime Moulds behaviours by Japanese scientists in the late twentieth century, I would never have understood that two-thirds of our homeostasis is problematic.
However, I owe more to Slime Moulds than just understanding the flaws of our homeostasis. They taught me to grasp the concepts of Goal-setting, Coherence, Coordination and Cooperation at a high level.
I owed the Goal-setting at the humanity level to Zoroaster’s philosophy in the first place. Still, Slime Moulds’ enviable problem-solving methods caused me to see the importance of Goal-setting from a new perspective.
I have written in detail in six book volumes about the lessons I learned from Slime Moulds and my own human conclusions. Here, I want to talk briefly about these teachers of mine and encourage you to study and contemplate their behaviour.
Slime Moulds are not quite animals, plants, or fungi. They belong to their own kingdom, separate from animals, plants, and fungi, known as the kingdom Protista or Protists.
Slime Moulds do not possess a brain or a centralised nervous system. Despite this, they can navigate their environment and solve mazes.
When placed in a maze with a food source, Slime Moulds extend in various directions, exploring the labyrinth and leaving behind a slime track. Through ”trial and error”, they gradually optimise their pathfinding by favouring routes with a higher concentration of food and reducing exploration of less productive paths. This behaviour showcases their ability to adapt and solve complex problems without traditional neural structures.
Slime Moulds’ capacity for solving the mazes also raises many questions about their Coherence, Coordination, Cooperation and communication methods that cause them to exert collective control over reality.
