Comment on He was no friend to the middle class
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 week agothere, you’re getting too philosophical and abstract.
fire isn’t alive, isn’t cannot evolve, no evolution… and you’re definitely failing biology.
point is that the highschool definition is bs, no biologist uses it, yet you’re stubbornly stick to it like a contrarian.

Again. Alive isn’t biological. You’re very hung up on only biological things being alive.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Biology is the study is life.
If it is alive, it is under the purview of Biology.
what you’re doing, is trying to fit anything that fits the Highschool definition as alive. and you end up with chemistry rather than life.
You are very hunged up on highschool oversimplifications.
if fire is alive, would using a lighter count as abiogenesis?

Do you see how that doesn’t work?
Biologissts called themselves the study of life, some 200 years ago. They did so with very little knowledge, and lots of ambition. Also known as hubris.

And fire is clearly chemistry and not biology.
We just study life and don’t bother with the definition, its a “you know it when you see it” kind of thing
