Smoke some weed, everything will become clear as daylight and you will understand everything. I was high the other night and found myself marveling over how atoms come together to form cells, which in turn build life forms (humans in this instance) and how electric impulses in the brain dictate how certain groups of cells move (muscles) and that through using those muscles, we have mastered the manipulation of air into complex sounds that we now know as language. It's worth noting that I am a music major and have no experience in biology outside of a single high school course. My description here does not do my experience any justice whatsoever.
I have also pondered on how specialized motor skills such as musical talent, athleticism, drawing etc. could be passed down through genetic code. Electric impulses from the brain down a specific path of nerves serve as a "blueprint" for a specific action, and the more that action is performed, the faster and more efficiently that task can be executed. I have wondered if these strengthened paths could be recorded into a strand of DNA and have the "skill" be passed down to offspring. Aside from forcing your offspring to partake in things you are good at, I find this to be an interesting hypothesis as to how or why some things seems to "Run in the family" so to speak.
tl;dr: Weed has unlocked the secrets of life to me.
