Hedging Tall Risk
Life is this structured survival strategy, but it needs to have a little bit of randomness and entropy at the edges. Constantly experiment and make sure it's properly fitted to reality, because reality changes all the time. Ah, before single celled organisms were like a virus, just random molecules assembling themselves in random ways using random protein structures. And somewhere along the way, those inanimate, random molecule protein structures learn how to harness energy. At the end of the day, what you need is, what life needs is energy. If it doesn't have energy, it's not life, it's a virus.
