There are lots of them around, but they don't have a lot of volition. Dominion does involve getting other organisms to do what you want.

Cool. Not so long ago biologists said that biological rotary motors
were impossible. They are common, and I think one spins at 100,000
RPM.
The helicase gadget that splits our DNA strand during cell
reproduction spins at about 10,000 RPM.

Or 30,000 rpm.
My old rule on biological importance is that if you can see the

Yes, and when we look around us today we can see that agenda being actively pursued by those seeking to use the pretext of some 'climate emergency' to get the plebs to make huge and very costly sacrifices which will benefit them not one iota.
