there was once an attempt to define life. they ended up agreeing that a living thing is alive if it can procreate… then one replied that technically, that means that a single rabbit isn’t alive but a couple are.

Well if that’s the case, then women past menopause also must not be alive either. Glad we finally got that sorted out 👍

  the problem is that’s it’s fucking hard to make a definition about “being alive”.
  
  and the more scientific esoteric ones are interesting, like adding steps in thermodynamic cascades, or theories based on chaos theory, or information theory… because other conventional definition fails some way or another.
