Good point. It reminds me of an observation made by Paul Sutter in his podcast [0]. Paraphrasing, there so many layers of emergent phenomena, most of whom we will probably never figure out:

- From quantum fields to atoms

- From atoms to chemistry

- From chemistry to biochemistry

- From biochemistry to cellular life

- From cellular life to multicellular life

- From multicellular life to consciousness

- From individual consciousness to social phenomena
