The 20th century is said to have been the “age of #machines” because all explanations of how things work would end in some kind of computing or “information processing” by a known #mechanism.
Some people think that the 21st century will be the “age of #biology” because science seems starting to look at nature and the living #organism for inspiration about how things really work.
If this is true then #Computationalism must be one of the last remnants of the past century.

A three-eyed #organism roamed the seas half a billion years ago

Considering that most of the #cells in our #bodies are #bacteria and other #microbes, and how dependent #humans are (and vulnerable to) in so many ways on the existence of these microbes, it's an arrogance born of ignorance that humans believe we're the dominant #organism on #Earth.
We could be wiped out like the #Martians in #WarOfTheWorlds; #SARS-CoV-2 highlights what easy prey we can be for microbes because we're arrogant and ignorant.

"#immortality of the #machine blah blah blah my #dna is an unbroken line stretching back billions of years. every sidewalk has mites crawling across it and weeds cracking through it, every grand #ocean liner has barnacles and algae growing on its hull.
A single #organism is vulnerable, yes, but #life itself is practically unstoppable. It has been adapting and #evolving and processing for longer than any machine will ever last. It will consume and corrode and destroy until there is nothing left but life and stone once more."
