Eventually you realizethat thebiochemical costenergy expenditure of synthesizing Venomglands andor Poisonous reservoirs is not so helpful anymore because you can simply ride thetrendof wearing brightcolors as indication for toxicity without having the molecularpotency to back itup

This is called Batesian Mimicry opposite to Aggressive Mimicry like this harmless Thesnappingturtle ygyygy.gg

A rather interesting notion that one ought to keep in mind in the dizzying rigorously choreographed MIntal gymnastics Is that theexplicit cognitive labor Lathemal of computation should always be simple Truthisevertobefoundi.IS implicity and not in the Dr E Weinstein once put it along the multiplicity confusion of things lines of Nobody can see in their 5 minds a 3dm structure Noteven the Field's in their mind's eye The key here in Mathematics is this creative act of finding heat ways to trick one's visual cortex into representing these impossible objects into simple slicesand projections The Human Brain is verymuch limited in this sense of Bruteforce The difficulty in Maths is never of the object of the problem itself butrather

This is the point of ATP to act as a thermodynamic middleman Biochemistryin itssummation of reactions appears impossible forthis reason that when you cancelout the intermediates it appears that rock has somehow beatpaper It is counterintuitively intuitive in that oneunderstands Thermodynamics is absolute Onecannotclimb theenergystairswithoutexpendingenergyintothe step Natureinsiststhatwe mustwalk down thestairs Thisisn'ttobecontestedandthat'salright becauseshehasalready provided us with a number of these neat Escherian backdoorloopholesTheselfsustainingentropicmiracleofLife's Biochemistry simplywould not bepossible if not for this Thermodynamic Hackery For example

Nature necessitates these intermediates not only as thermodynamic stepping stones but importantly as thermodynamic dams values in order to prevent backflow One mayeven consider this as a kind of security clearance Preventing proofreading for errors

This is also important to remember in understanding the loopy nature of Biosynthesis Because if it is such that each individual reaction has a favorable 060 0 then it cannot be reversed This means that in context of

1 Anabolism Synthesis usingsimpleMolecules to buildcomplexMolecules

2 Catabolism Decomposition breaking down complex Molecules intosimpleMolecules that one cannot simply_reverse the reactions And as such Anabolism and Catabolism aren't exactly symmetricopposites butfather yae 0 looped siblings if you will

Jokes and interestingly memetemplates in our 2020 era often convey deeply profound subconsciously suppressed idealogicalthema just yearning to be touched on and identified After all that's what makes something funny right It must be deeply relatable in a largely unforeseen and unthought of way that provokes the reader's cognitive dissonances as if to say Wow I've never considered it thatway but now that
