Self-organization is a property of the universe, not a property solely of Earth and its life. Wherever atoms and molecules are free to bounce around in the void, they seem to self-organize.

The Case of the Sexual Cosmos:
Everything You Know About Nature Is Wrong
By Howard Bloom
“Sex may force us to modify Charles Darwin’s idea that evolution is driven by a ‘struggle for survival.’
Sex is not just a survival device. It is a macromolecular call for exuberance. It is an intricate ballet that exceeds your wildest dreams. And mine.
The existence of sex implies that this cosmos is not in a struggle to merely hang in there. This cosmos is not in a struggle for mere survival. This cosmos is in a struggle for flamboyance. This cosmos is in a mad rush for the power to exult, to rejoice, and to do a victory dance.”

Love and the birth of a universe,
What are they all about?
Attraction and repulsion.
The gathering in.
The pushing to get out.
The binding of atoms.
The breaking of hearts.
The needs that bring us together,
The needs that tear us apart.
