Hi Wim, MARCO,

Carbon outcompeted other chemical elements by developing life and changed
the face of the earth!
MARCO
Agreement 100%
I disagree 100%. The current paradigm says that the amount of carbon on
earth has stayed unchanged for thousands of millions of years. Survival of a
carbon atom has little to do with whether it is part of a chemistry
professor or a lump of coal. I think that this point is a crucial one in
separating between Pirsig's levels. As far as the carbon atom is concerned,
it wouldn't even necessarily "know" if it was part of a living organism or
not.
