Would this by a biologically-centred position you’d be willing to buy into? Nothing magical—just something specific to only biology (as we currently know it), but does not need to remain so.

I’m not sure if the water or the chemistry are necessary (TBD, seems unlikely but I’m open to it), but I’d buy into the idea that there’s something about the type of processes they enable in life that’s a good place to look.

So wait, they are or they aren't important? If they enable specific processes, doesn't that imply they are important?

Yes, but I’m not convinced that similar-enough processes couldn’t be implemented in other substrates. In fact, I’d be surprised if they couldn’t.

Agree! I think the challenge, and the secret, lies in the *degree* of 'similar-enough' 🤗

Absolutely. That’s what makes the sauce special 🤤
