After reading the first two chapters of "What is Life?", I can see how this text will become an excellent jumpstart for our human application of these core truths about our biosphere. "We are walking talking minerals" (page 49) on the surface of this planet. "Life, challengining gravity, moves matter horizontally across the surface" (page 49), the intriguing Mr. Vernadsky points out. This elementary approach to understanding the role of living matter will be the foundation of how we sustain not ourselves, but the planet as a whole. Taking collective ego out of the equation will facilitate an open forum in which to discuss the role of the individual ego in sustaining the surface of this planet. What we lable as "human" is theoretically no different than my dog or the plants on my porch from a chemical standpoint. As memebers of the DNA family, we need to work together to help out our other less fortunate counterparts, mainly the O^2 and 0^3 families, along with other cousins as well..
