the logic here is extremely iffy
- thsksbd 3y agoSorry, to avoid embarrassment I didn't include the conclusion: Since, as stated, non-carbon chemistry is limited, non-carbon life (very broadly defined as replication of information) is either impossible or incredibly boring.
- augustulus 3y agobut this is what I’m saying. perhaps it’s possible to have life from other elements, but carbon-based life simply dominates it to a degree that it doesn’t survive
