Life is chemistry with memory, right?
Yeah, yes, it's true.
Or happened but were erased and we can't access them.
There are three possibilities.
Well, I want to tell you first that what you said is very fundamental because we think about past as some sort of foundation to our existence.
We imagine like everything build on top of each other and we stand on these solid grounds.
You can imagine it's more like columns.
And you remove one column, the building collapses.
So we've got to be very careful about how much we rely on these biological phenomenon, thinking that we are in good hands.
I mean, Earth, it took a really long time for what we depend on to evolve and to find its place.
And it is not a foundation whatsoever.
These are very delicate systems.
You change the pH of a soil, you threaten biological nitrogen fixation.
I mean, if you remove carbon fixation, we won't even have time to come up with a better solution.
I mean, if you're thinking about human perspective, we're vanished first.
