> Is Earth – the planet itself – alive?
not according to the definition i just looked up. depending on what you mean, the earth is 'simply' a ball of mud hurtling through space, or it's something more akin to a label for the complex emergent system composed of many individual instances of LivingObject.
> But what about free will?
how are we defining "free will"?
- Koshkin 10y ago> ball of mud I am afraid, geologists (and many other people) might disagree with this characterization. They find the composition of our planet an extremely fascinating subject.
- abiox 10y agooh, certainly. i once took a geology class without much expectations, and found it tremendously fascinating. very interesting stuff!
