"I just can't imagine how..........therefore", lol.
As far as how peculiar our faculties are - I think that maybe it's a bit of self interest spurring this one on. Plants have peculiar faculties as well, just as much so. They simply went a different way with it. We are incapable of doing what they do just as fantastically as they are incapable of doing what we do (though they may not be quite so incapable as we once imagined them to be, surprise surprise). That we think it means something in us, and nothing in them, is, frankly, beyond me. We can move around a little bit, and think about stuff - they're the masters of organic chemistry upon which our existence depends- capable of expressing what can only be called behaviors without so much as a single brain cell. They managed to figure something out that still has us, with our big, important "consciousness", scratching our heads to this day. Who's the badass here again?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
