So A doesn’t X because that’s what B does because Y? I think before you excoriate the hacker news commentariat for their midwittery and hubris that you should proofread these arguments. There are many things that live, but, as we imagined it, do not “think”. Even what defines a “thought“ is an open question.

Also, I ain’t gonna read your coffee table science book.

Where did I say that everything that is alive thinks?

You can't even read posts clearly, so don't waste your time trying to finish your first book.
