at one time scientists believed that living things and non-living things were made of different material, accounting for the unique properties of living things.
this idea is called vitalism and is no longer popular.
what does remain popular (in fact is still the dominant view) is a similar idea that things that experience the world (humans, frogs, mice) are different from things that don't experience the world (potatoes, rocks, snowflakes).
Isaac Asimov was a biochemist that also wrote fiction. He was damn good at both.
There should be a rule: People should at least have a basic idea of what they are taking about before they post on a topic and/or thread.
Seriously, some of the posts on this thread are just embarrassing for the lack of awareness, knowledge and thoughtfulness about this subject. The irony is palpable.
just wondering.
when i was a witness, we had presiding overseer, and would say p-o for short.
do they spell it out when they say cobe or do they say it with as a word?
I pronounce it: /ˈasˌhōl/

This just in: Do fish suffer? (Scientific American, November 21, 2017)
Although the author, science writer John Horgan, gets the plural of octopus wrong, he nevertheless sheds some interesting light on this discussion. It’s not revolutionary, but thought-provoking and very readable.

Well, you can’t be bothered ... you’re pondering the very nature of ultimate reality but are too lazy to use every tool at your disposal.
WTF?!?
I really don’t understand you. Over the many years we’ve known each other you’ve constantly pushed me to dig deeper, look longer, think harder. As a result I have learned so much BECAUSE YOU PUSHED ME!
I’ve achieved great things because you pushed me.
You know I would never have presented at that conference in Bordeaux if you hadn’t both pushed and encouraged me. And I’m grateful for that.
But now you give me this!
What the fuck is that about?
Get up off your lazy ass and look! Turn on your PC or your goddamned laptop or whatever you have to do.
Do what you’ve pushed me to do for the last eight years.
Seriously.
No fucking excuses. None.
Do it.

SBF: I've not used my PC since circa 2012

Asimov was the man, but he died 25 years ago. We’ve learned a thing or two about biology, chemistry and physics since then.

That's too bad. It's really pretty incredible.
It does require a Flash plugin.
Hopefully you can find a way to access it.
