There is imo dire need for more great, general write-ups of Levin's work—writing which can get into the interesting details without losing readers (or really any (?)

Also, I maintain that one of the wildest things that has ever happened is that Levin showed not just that the worms can generate a head of a different species but that the frequency with which they do is _proportional_ to how far that species is from them, evolutionarily speaking. Wtf!
that is wild about growing a different head but if I accept that, then what is the wild part about it happening at a proportional amount, that seems more intuitive?

thank you! definitely want to hear your thoughts on it. and WOW I did not realize that
