Nick Lane: Origin of Life, Evolution, Aliens, Biology, and Consciousness

You guys are so much really sure all life needs to take off from chemical reactions.

I wouldn't be so sure. Not even for our Sun system, nor even our own planet.

Humans really, historically have had little imagination, think electricity (THE big one we missed as a species for literally thousands of years and it was 100% of the time all around us), wifi networks in pre 70s scifi, etc.

So it could be happening again, we are again so much sure we know everything, "this is it", "the peak of science", etc.

But we probably don't know everything just yet.
