According to my Bio textbook, which I bought used for $3.50 ("tree fiddy" fo realises), life is currently defined by 7 characteristics.
- cellular organization (seems debatable IMO)
- ordered complexity
- sensitivity
- growth and reproduction
- energy utilization
- homeostasis
- evolutionary adaptation (also IMO seems debatable, but not for the creationist reasons)
I think the most valuable lesson here is that used textbooks can be cheap.
And if you had picked philosophy books you would see life be defined differently. I guess my point is that all those categories are too narrow.
I read philosophy books every day, and often write my thoughts about it here. Very few people ever respond. I read, summarized, and uploaded to nostr (for as long as relays keep it) the entire book of the Dao de Jing. I'm currently reading Zhuangzi and the "Asclepius, Perfect Discourse of Hermes Trismegistus" - though my focus is on Zhuangzi right now. If you're into philosophy, you're welcome to tell me what you think. Anyone is. Follow #philosophy and #gnostr for my philosophical notes and musings.
Followed. Also #philosophy . What is #gnostr?
Idk what it originally was - it was used for something like 2 years before I started using it, but hadn't seen any new posts for a couple years. But I use it for anything I'd categorize as gnosis related, as in gnostic spirituality. I suspect that's why the Christians hate me, but I'm not changing myself for them.
Well I just noticed nostr:nprofile1qqsd6ejdteqpvse63ntf7qz6u9yqspp4z7ymt8094urzwm0x2ceaxxgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejz7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hszxmhwden5te0w35x2en0wfjhxapwdehhxarjxyhxxmmd9uyn3x3h's note in #gnostr and I think I know the answer now. Git nostr. If they want their tag back, I'll just stop polluting it. I thought it was kinda clever though...
Nope. I think your use is much more correct even if I am generally not a fan of gnosis.
