Our definitions of life match what we've seen, not what it must be.

I'd think that if we saw evidence of some sort of amorphous autonomous chemical soup on another planet moving around and making decisions, we might have to start reconsidering some things.

I always thought about how when we say “nothing can live in _______” that we could only say that because we can’t imagine what could live in places we see as uninhabitable for us.
