If I remember correctly, Benning said that everything has a certain structure built off of a formula. Math is all about finding out the formulas to certain structures, for example the circumference of a circle. So with this in mind I began to wonder that if the world is ruled by numbers and everything has certain structure could that mean that there is a formula to end war? Or a formula for love or hate or any other emotion or function? And if we did obtain this knowledge would it help the human race or be the demise of it? I know it sounds very abstract, but who knows. Maybe it isn't necessary for us to know those certain formulas if there are any. I mean, how could we ever go about trying to figure out that formula, where would we begin?
I was also thinking that maybe there is a common formula or a universal formula that could solve any problem. That would then mean everything is alike some way or another, we could all be interconnected somehow. And that could lead to the point that we all come from the same thing whatever that may be. These are all just questions to ponder and I realize their is no answer for them right now, but that doesn't mean we can't start to formulate one.

I like that you've taken Benning's lecture and run with the concepts, asked larger questions.
