OK

If LUCKBRAINS --- EXPERIENCE NotDiffThan THINGS
Therefore
If LUCKBRAINS --- EXPERIENCE * * *DiffThan *THINGS
&
If BRAINSLUCK --- EXPERIENCE * * *DiffThan * THINGS

So f------ what?

How about the EXPERIENCE of THINGS? or the Experience of THINGness?

Look, I knew Mr Thingnessless
Mr Thingnessless was a friend of mine
And you ain't no Mr Thingnessless

And IMHO nor are but the tinyest portion of our life-form, either out
of necessity or by choice. We are literally Thinglings. Maybe how we
get things, or even make things ourselves is the more interesting
question.

I think maybe some of the THINGness is hardwired in humans by now, and
represents the movement of physical solutions, (like extensive
hairiness), transformed into a biochemical circuit which in some way
enables a material solution, (like pelt or textile), . . . to address
the need for the body to conserve heat for example. etc etc.

A fascinating hypothesis, but where are you gonna find volunteers to
test it?
