I like it! It's really interesting to consider information as an aspect of life. I try to resist anthropomorphizing systems by thinking of things like cells as intelligent beings consciously doing x, y, z. But they certainly are complex systems that depend on information being chemically transmitted from one part to the other in order to survive and continue functioning.

This is all well in good, (Defining life) as a cell is a ambiguous thing. What about complex A.I systems? What I think is a better definition, is the ability to formulate strategic navigation to goals by either (genetic algorithms, or Learning algorithms).

Every so called "scientist" that does not see that the universe is a living thing is just a mechanic. His mind can only process the obvious parts of life before his eyes. Everything is alive. Life does not end at the other side of a cell's membrane. A city is an organism too. There is no isolated system in the universe. It's systems within systems, overlapping each other. God is life itself. Everything in life is connected. We are part of a greater being. Religions are just different languages, they are an attempt to communicate this insight to other humans. With science getting more and more of the picture (macrocosm, microcosm), and people getting educated about it, it will be easier and easier for everyone to understand it. For that:☮️, you have to see this:☯️

Prof Paul Nurse is not just a great scientist, but a very humble person that elevates his status. As a Professor of Biochemistry working in India I sent him an e mail about a book on immunology that I planned to write and wanted his blessings. Within a week I got his reply wishing me the best. A Nobel Laureate could have easily ignored my letter, but his prompt reply taught me the great lesson that those truly great are very humble. Having read of his personal life made my respect towards him grow much more.May the Almighty God bless dear Paul. Regards , Dr Biju C Mathew

They both work in the same branch of science, they are academic colleagues. Sure; he does not need to care. But he can perfectly well wish or want to care, as it is reasonable. Finally; there is nothing wrong or out of the ordinary with not being completely sure of oneself. Being sceptical of your self or your own work, can be a great strength, as those insecurities may motivate you to pursue further improvements. I hope you take these lessons to heart. Have a great day

Do you really think that is realistic when I was born into a system and taught to live in this system? I went to school and was told how to be a person in a system, follow laws/rules, and was told I NEEDED a job to live, I was never told that it was okay to go live in a forest in a hut...How many people can you ask that will tell you they hate the way "The System" is and how hard it is for people to live in it? Now ask them if they would drop this system and go live in a forest? What do you think the answer would be? Now what do you think their "purpose" is? Remember you were born into this system without currency, food, knowledge of anything...unless you grew up in a rich family from one of these corporations...your just another number in a never ending assembly line to make someone else's life better than your own.

I've often wondered about what makes us alive. At the molecular level, the elements that make up living beings are no different than those of inanimate objects. For example, I imagine that you could stack up all the element that make up a human body, like the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, etc., and I think each molecule inside us would be no different from the elements in a stone or in the air. Once you go small enough, we are composed of strictly non-living things, yet we are living. What a miracle. Thank you for a great video that helps me think about what life really is.

Love the way you put this. On one hand, we are a thing but on another, we are alive. Yet on another hand, we think and contemplate at a level nothing else on earth can. "What a miracle" is what you said. Yes, thinking about it almost leads to the 'uncomfortable' conclusion the religious folks came to many years ago. Life is an intentional design receiving constant care and guidance by a super life who's steering the entire thing to extremely gorgeous conclusions, albeit not without various forms and or levels of death and tragedy.

What is intelligent life? Welcome to the Vitalism debate! From Wikipedia: "Vitalism is the rejected tradition in biology which proposes that life is sustained and explained by an unmeasurable, intelligent force or energy." When biology discovered cellular organization, the seemingly infinite hubris mankind posseses presumed to conclude that given time, life could produce itself! It cannot. It is incomprehensibe yet undeniable that we have a Maker, a Sustainer. Every instance of our existence is His product, His gift. I very much enjoy living! And so I should look to my Life Giver! Instead of inventing a pretense that He does not exist!!!

This is always a great topic to hear. Although I still think we underdefine life. We define life based off of how far we can perceive life. We didn't know that cells and other microorganisms existed before someone could make us perceive them. What if life exists at a smaller level than what we can currently perceive? More interestingly, what if life exists at a level greater than a level which we can perceive? A level at which our senses can't allow us to perceive it. For example, the cells in our bodies are examples of life. But then because they lack brains with ears, eyes, noses and other senses, they can't perceive our world the way we do. What if we lack the sense organs to perceive life at a scale larger than ours?

I've read in the book "Wonders of Earth, Sea and Sky" edited by Edward Singleton Holden, volume XI, 1902, that "...in the fact that living creatures always consist of the four elements, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon. Every living creature from a man to a mushroom, or even to the smallest animalcule or unicellular plant is always partly fluid, but never entirely so. Every living creature also consists in part (and that part is the most active living part) of a soft, viscid, transparent, colorless substance, termed protoplasm, which can be resolved into the four elements, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon. Besides these four elements, living organisms commonly contain sulphur, phosphorus, chlorine, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and iron..." I think, that rule is suitable for the Earth. For other planets may exist other rules, in my opinion.

This is a wonderful summary and explanation of such a complex thing. It got me wondering something: What happens when life reaches a such a level of complex information management that it can and does start to speculate about what it is itself? We are living, and now we are asking what it is and what it means to be living. What is the purpose of existing, if there even is one? I don’t have an answer, but I think the question is well worth pondering.

It’s a great question that would surmise a myriad of answers, and each of them, in their own way correct and appropriate for each ‘user’ or ‘live-er’ For me, in this moment, as I type from the High Rockies, and Spring is just starting to take the Bat-ton from Winters hand. Life is to be outside, in the sun, listening to a creek swell and crash from rock to moss covered rock. To stand toes to sand, on the fractured pebble beaches and be brave enough to breach the water that was snow moments ago. To do the thing, no matter the perceived difficulty, to be in the dance of life. To not be caught up in whether one is stepping in correct cadence, but to step, and step, and step with no consideration of onlookers, that this is your dance, to the beat of your drum, and how you rep with each step, is personal, it’s unique, and done best by being in the one place, you could only truly be, right here, right now. The stage of life, ready for the next step. (That’s what I’ve been working on, Torger. How about you? What’s your speculation on life and a life well lived?)

@@chanceschimel5675 I like this. One thing that strikes me about our existence is that it is experiential and therefore creative. By being, we are each an act of creation. And the creative act that is “us” is also the many creative acts of the parts of each of us, from atoms to cells to organs and systems, whose creative acts make “us” possible but are also independent of us. And together, in larger ways, we are also together part of even bigger acts of creation, all the way out to the entire universe itself. This is the great dance of creation, and to me it is a source of awe. I need to give this some more thought.

Life is in each component of an entity, and when something "dies" we can say that it loses the ability to provide these components with what they need to work properly. When a person dies, not all their cells die immediately. That's why you can remove a heart, a lung, or a liver from a deceased person and transplant them into a living one because the cells inside are not dead yet. You can extract living cells from a body even several days after death and keep them in culture in a lab for eternity. So I would say life "fades" slowly from a dead entity.

Individual death is not death at all, since the humanity continues on. Being selfish and isolated is a sickness. Community, connection, love, that's what we must do to survive and strive!

I've always thought the question of "What is consciousness and how does it work?" was by far the most existentially important question in the world. But the question of "What is life and how does it work?" has always been the runner up question to me. Now, as I think about how life must constantly manage information in order to remain alive, I wonder if consciousness is fundamentally related to life. Not because all conscious things need to be alive as a prerequisite, but because increased levels of consciousness allows _life_ to flourish. And I know people would say things like "Bacteria are alive. Are you suggesting they are conscious?" And to that I could only say "Maybe, sort of?" I think consciousness and life are both on a spectrum. Viruses seem to especially skirt the official definition of life and I know _I'm_ only half conscious at work meetings. In reference to "The Selfish Gene" (everyone should read it) we're basically all just gene vehicles. Very complex, intelligent, and cultured, yes. However, we were constructed by genes over the course of _millions_ of years for the sole purpose of housing them so that they can continue propagating themselves. I don't mean to anthropomorphize a bunch of chemicals (they didn't plan it all out), but perhaps there was (and is) an incomprehensibly minute level consciousness residing in the DNA of all cells.

The fundamental error that modern western philosophers have been making continuously is that they are searching for human consciousness in things that are not human. The problem with Selfish Gene theory is that it made genes as new super conscious deity, self-created God. And BTW, Genes do not control the shape of a cell or organism, it is still a mystery, so the theory is not complete yet. The book needs revision, it has been several decades old now :)

I've often wondered about what makes us alive. At the molecular level, the elements that make up living beings are no different than those of inanimate objects. For example, I imagine that you could stack up all the element that make up a human body, like the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, etc., and I think each molecule inside us would be no different from the elements in a stone or in the air. Once you go small enough, we are composed of strictly non-living things, yet we are living. What a miracle. Thank you for a great video that helps me think about what life really is.

What if living and non-living is a false dichotomy? I think maybe replacing it with in-system and off-system is better. Meaning particles are either caught in a persistent and homeostatic relationship with other particles (in-system) or not (off-system). This would at least make it so viruses are no longer a paradox.

Spot on. I have pondered in similar lines. As all apparent distinctions are products of our own classifications/categorisations which naturally arose out of our 'need to understand'. So yes, I'd agree that it IS a false dichotomy. As is almost everything imo. 'Chemical reactions' do not exist strictly outside of 'biological interactions', for example. Nature/Reality/Existence/Universe, whatever name we assign to the system, it's ultimately ONE system. But, what keeps me up at night pondering, is WHY? I think it's a way to efficiently dissipate energy. Or maybe the concept of why which assumes a reason is a complete human invention, idk 😅

Have you read Maturana's and Varela's "The tree of knowledge: the biological roots of human understanding"? If not, I think you might find very interesting insights with some of the concepts they present there, such as "autopoeiesis". Their definition of life goes quite in line with your reasoning.

@@piratedgenes You pirated my thoughts. This must be an example of convergent evolution working on ideas. I see what you mean when you say our categorizations are anthropocentric. I think all of our definitions are arbitrary. Our brains try to model the universe but can't because in order to accurately model the the universe our brain will have to at least have as much particles as the universe, so the brain ends up approximating/digitizing/simplifying giving rise to our definitions and categorizations. I ended up thinking this way when I once watched some guy explain his theory he called "extended mind." While I did not end up agreeing with him that the mind "jumps out of the brain," it led me to wonder why I draw a line/definition between my mind or consciousness and the rest of the universe. Which then led me to think that the Buddhists were right when they say that we are "one with the universe" (it is sad how old knowledge is bastardized by pop culture). From there you could probably guess how I ended up with "nothing is alive." As to why, I tend to think it's all just a consequence of the forces that govern the universe interacting with each other. It also makes sense to think that it just a way for the universe to spread out energy and move us along towards heat death.

@@DorksterJr Haha, what if I did pirate your thoughts. Lol. Anyways, isn't it amazing that, 'Matter' after enough iterations of possible/stable arrangements can produce something as 'abstract' as thoughts and share them on a platform made by different groups of matter particles which never actively intended all the possible interactions. So Yay, convergent evolution! The ideas which developed with us as we kept surviving as a species, namely those distinctions that we 'sense' between any two things, must've stemmed from the very first distinction our species unintentionally invented, i.e., the concept of possessing a 'self' imo. Mind you, I'm not taking an arrogant stance, as I think that most species of the animal kingdom must also distinguish themselves from their environment, at least on a cognitive level, otherwise they wouldn't have survived. But, the onset of a proper linguistic structure solidified (and also exaggerated, imo) this concept of self in our species. Hence, our definitions and categorisations need not be 'accurate', just 'useful' enough for survival. We can't "see" the whole electromagnetic spectrum, physiologically speaking, because we didn't need to. We can't "know" the absolute truth, or the reason for our existence, because we don't need to. There's no evolutionary pressure that depends on us finding that 'truth'. And even if such a thing 'exists', the nature of information as we know it, forbids that....as there are always losses in transmission. Which is why every piece of info, or as you said how 'old knowledge' gets bastardized over enough transmissions. (And that in turn, 'allows' the evolution/selection of ideas/memes in the infosphere.) If you're interested, I'd recommend a book, "The Information" by James Gleick, for more on this. And yes, some buddhist disciplines, especially Zen, do reason in similar lines. As do some ancient Hindu philosophies, Taoism ...etc.

Paul's exploration of life, biology, and evolution through a multidisciplinary lens is truly captivating. His research's depth, especially regarding the commonality of cell reproduction mechanisms in different species, has made significant contributions to our understanding of life. However, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) could further accelerate his studies and broaden the insights he could glean from his work. Artificial intelligence, with its ability to parse through vast amounts of data and discern patterns beyond human cognition, can add a layer of robustness to Paul's research. Here's how: Data Analysis: AI could expedite the process of identifying and understanding patterns in cell reproduction across different species. It can sift through vast genomic databases at a much faster pace than humans, recognizing patterns and correlations that could provide further evidence of a shared ancestral origin for all life. Predictive Modelling: Using machine learning algorithms, AI can generate predictive models for evolution based on Darwin's theory of natural selection. These models could offer insight into future evolutionary traits, providing a new dimension to the conversation about life and evolution. Chemistry & Information Management: AI can play an essential role in bioinformatics and cheminformatics, helping to understand complex chemical interactions and the flow of genetic information. Deep learning algorithms can model the intricate dance of molecules, proteins and DNA, providing insights about life at a level of detail we've never seen before. Simulation of Life Processes: AI can assist in creating sophisticated simulations of cellular processes and evolutionary pathways. These simulations can help visualize and understand the dynamic and complex processes that constitute life. By harnessing the power of AI, Paul can supercharge his research, making it more comprehensive, faster, and potentially uncovering insights that would be difficult to achieve through traditional means. The future of biology is not just in cells and genes, but also in bits and bytes. The essence of life, indeed, is a self-contained, evolving system - and artificial intelligence can help us understand that system like never before. Paul's presentation is impressive. The ability to convey complex biological concepts in an engaging and comprehensible manner is noteworthy. This informative exploration not only expands understanding but also ignites curiosity about life's intricacies. Anticipating more insightful work in the future. Great job!

What I think we all need to do is tune in to Professor Jim Tour's explanation of a simple cell. The membrane of the cell has 10 to the 78 billion possible combinations and only one works. The carbohydrates on the membrane of a cell are more complex than the RNA and DNA combined. When a cell wants to transport material from one part of the cell to another part, it builds a tubular transport system where the material is delivered and then the tubular transport disappears. All of the parts of a cell have to be put together at a specific moment for the cell to function. What am I getting at? I am saying that a simple cell is one of the most complex systems imaginable and since 1952 when they started investigating how cells work, they have still not found out how the most basic parts of a cell work let alone be created. The primordial soup hypothesis is not how cells came to be is my analysis. We are composed of a trillion cells.

I mean, I do think there’s a difference between the mechanical and the chemical… I was thinking the chemical is kind of a bath and when you introduced other elements or agents or reagents or whatever… That you change the nature of that bath and causes other reactions to occur, or to be more likely to occur. They talk about taking drugs, that really only reduce the symptoms of some thing… Without dealing with the underlying causes. And even to describe what an underlying cause is, might be a little bit tricky. I mean… The malfunctioning or non-- ideal functioning of a certain set of nerves, or whatever… Due to environmental factors or unfavorable gene expression. It’s all fantastic.

And really, all living things- myself, a plant, an insect is either a single cell or made up of groups of cells acting together. Most people are not excited by yeast. I have to say, I am excited by the yeast. They just think, “well it's good for making beer and wine and bread maybe”, but actually, it's very good as a model for other cells in all sorts of more complicated living things like ourselves.

Ergo... all matter, systems, and grand designs from whatever designer, are subject to the environment one derives existence from, and cannot transcend the rules of the existence it has achieved. If life is an inevitability of the universe, the philosophical mystery becomes: is life necessary? If to be conscious is to suffer, would suffering end in the absence of consciousness?
