Which brings up a whole new topic: what if there were intelligent microscopic organisms?

This is, in theory... possible. Organelles acting as neurons. Some single celled organisms already have very basic "senses." I see no reason as to why a nervous system would develop though, considering how fast the individual would die anyways

There's even a few microorganisms (dinoflagellates in the familly Warnowiaceae) that have an eye-like assemblage of organelles called an ocelloid. It's currently unknown whether or not it's image forming, but it'd be awesome of it was.

 

Warnowiids are just about the coolest microorganisms out there. Apart from the ocelloid, many of them contain specialized defense organelles called nematocysts (yes, like the ones found in the Cnidaria) that contain little harpoons that they use to impale prey. And, of course, they're dinoflagellates, which instantly makes them cool regardless of anything else.

Let's hope the Anti-Vaxxers finally accept vaccines are not going to cause a child to develop Autism and that they are absolute buffoons for thinking that vaccines are evil because they are not just shortening their offspring's lifespan to a age of >10, they're putting us all in danger (and yes, I did refer to Anti-Vaxxers in a way that implies they are a different race of life than us. If you're stupid enough to deny science like a flat-earther, then you should not be hurting us. Let measles kill you like an asteroid that is 'impossible to form' will eventually wipe out flat-earthers like the dinosaurs (which pertty much have the same IQ).
