>>14327728>Because some movements are mechanical and not 'living'. Water flowing down a stream is not 'living', nor is an asteroid hurtling through space since these are not results of metabolic processes that sustain or reproduce the system in question.What do you think metabolic processes are? Do you think your whole body is alive or are some parts of it dead? Does your blood take part in your metabolic processes? What about your teeth? Your poop? Your nails?
>Not all movement is living,You see, that’s exactly what life is - spirit - movement. Everything flows, everything changes. Only the movement remains unmoved.
>therefore life is not the same as movement.Turns out it is!
>Other wise why the fuck do we have two different words with wildly different connotations for it?Different perspectives. Certain words are more convenient to work with in certain areas.
>Why do dictionaries use vastly different explanations too?They are not that different after all.
>metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organismAll of these are movement.
>No one, NO ONE consider Life = Movement.Taoism, Hermeticism, Heraclitus etc.
>Except the kind of people who spout bullshit like "We're all in outer space because earth is in outer space"We are not in outer space, but the earth is still a part of it. You probably just misunderstood the initial statement.
