Lots of things are just structured matter (i.e. everything else), so it's an inadequate characterization.

- randomopining 3y agoWhen did I say inanimate objects aren't structured matter? Actually I'm saying that life is like inanimate matter, but is just another step on a continuum towards greater structure. The first "life" couldn't even affect a thing next to it. Now humans are changing Earth and the near solar system. In the future our reach will be galaxy wide and beyond. Increasing order from disorder.
