King on Instagram: "DHA wasn’t selected because it carries electrons. It was selected because it carries time. Early life didn’t need a molecule full of energy. It needed a molecule that could keep up with the speed of charge, a structure that could reorient faster than signals decay. DHA is the only fatty acid in biology that can twist, rotate, and switch states in femtoseconds. Not fuel or an antioxidant. Just a temporal engine embedded into membranes. Nothing else in biochemistry moves fast enough to track reality. DHA gives biology the ability to: – flip receptor states on demand – open ion channels before information fades – fire synapses without losing rhythm – propagate charge waves with no distortion – maintain coherence between billions of neurons Remove DHA and the system doesn’t just slow down: - it loses synchrony - signals smear. - noise rises. - timing breaks. DHA isn’t an energy molecule. It’s precision geometry: a chain of double bonds placed so perfectly that its π-electrons behave less like “extra electrons” and more like field sensors. Every micro-rotation of DHA reshapes the local electric field. Every twist alters tunneling probabilities. Every change in orientation retunes protein function in real time. This is why DHA sits in vision, hearing, memory, decision-making, synapses, and the cortex. Anywhere biology needs to compute at the speed of reality, DHA is there. And here’s the cultural killshot: Your brain doesn’t work because electrons move. Your brain works because electrons move in phase. DHA is the molecule that locks that phase. - Take it out, and you get a system that still fires, but fires late. - Put it back, and coherence returns: cleaner signals, tighter resonance, restored direction. The old story said DHA “gives you electrons.” The truth is more brutal: DHA doesn’t add electrons, it disciplines them and enforces timing on a universe that would otherwise drift into noise. This is why evolution never replaced it. DHA isn’t a nutrient. It’s the molecular metronome of intelligence."
