will have an evolutionary path that's the same or different.

Depends on extension, depends on climate, depends on whatnot.

So...

I think that it's a little different than that.

We are biased when it comes to the origin of life because, well, we are the only model we know.

And as I said, it makes sense because it seems that a lot of

you know, stars like the sun appeared 10 billion years ago.

And there are lots of words that really resemble the earth and lots of water out there and lots of conditions that could be a repeat of what we know.

And we know that this biochemistry works.

So again, as I mentioned, what is going to change is really the evolution of a planet, extinction, geology, et cetera.

But our model,

is probably very abundant.

I'm not saying that the end game is going to resemble us because of all this extinction, et cetera, but this is a good bias.

It's one that has the number for it.

You know, the principle of mediocrity, I think that in that case, it really applies where the earth is representative of an abundance of other worlds.

Now, of course, there can be other biochemistry.

We have some examples in our own solar system.

Titan might be a representative of that.

We are not very clear of the kind of biochemistry that can come out of a world where you have hydrocarbon lakes and rains and things like that.

But we are going there.
