[Traubenfuchs]

An unpleasant philosophical discussion* about the multiple definitions or the lack of even one proper definition for one annoying word. It has no meaning! No matter how we define life or being alive, the atoms, reality, physics, chemistry don't change. Say we decide a virus is properly alive -what does it matter? What does that decision affect?

* if it's pleasant, it's probably not a philosophical discussion

like most philosophical discussions
