*sigh* I... nvm.
just forget I even said that ok?
It was a failed attempt at something, but I refuse to say what.
If you don't mind, I'm going to smoke and forget about it very soon.
It's all good though. Don't take it personally. It just sounded like you were high.
Here's the thing. Life is seemingly random. That's why it's life. It should mean something to you that we haven't found any life anywhere else but here. As far as we know for sure, we're all there is. I love the idea of aliens, and think it's incredibly probable. But the fact is life exists on our planet, not on the other 8 (cause I still count Pluto
) in our system. We cannot duplicate life synthetically. We can genetically modify things, and we can create viruses, but they're not technically
entirely alive. They're kind of half-alive, and that's because life is so extremely improbable in the first place and therefor difficult to recreate, there's no accepted universal definition of life. Instead, there are traits and behaviors which, if posessed, indicate life in most cases.
From Wikipedia:
Conventional definition: The consensus is that life is a characteristic of organisms that exhibit all or most of the following phenomena:[9][10]
Homeostasis: Regulation of the internal environment to maintain a constant state; for example, electrolyte concentration or sweating to reduce temperature.
Organization: Being structurally composed of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life.
Metabolism: Consumption of energy by converting chemicals and energy into cellular components (anabolism) and decomposing organic matter (catabolism). Living things require energy to maintain internal organization (homeostasis) and to produce the other phenomena associated with life.
Growth: Maintenance of a higher rate of synthesis than catabolism. A growing organism increases in size in all of its parts, rather than simply accumulating matter. The particular species begins to multiply and expand as the evolution continues to flourish.
Adaptation: The ability to change over a period of time in response to the environment. This ability is fundamental to the process of evolution and is determined by the organism's heredity as well as the composition of metabolized substances, and external factors present.
Response to stimuli: A response can take many forms, from the contraction of a unicellular organism to external chemicals, to complex reactions involving all the senses of higher animals. A response is often expressed by motion, for example, the leaves of a plant turning toward the sun (phototropism) and chemotaxis.
Reproduction: The ability to produce new organisms. Reproduction can be the division of one cell to form two new cells. Usually the term is applied to the production of a new individual (either asexually, from a single parent organism, or sexually, from at least two differing parent organisms), although strictly speaking it also describes the production of new cells in the process of growth.
Edit:
There's a lot of evidence against this claim. Also, you should either smoke more weed or less weed. Whatever the amount, I'm not sure you've nailed it yet.
This is the funniest thing I've read all week.
I hoped you'd catch that
