The distinction between levels 1 and 2 is "life" - not necessarily organic
life, or DNA-based organic life, that just happens to be the most-obvious form
in the circumstances of human history.
Andre replied:
Can you enlighten us with your knowledge of life that is not 'necessarily
organic life' i.e. DNA 'based' life? Just interested in the non-obvious.

I was wondering about Ian's strange claim too. Since "organic" means "of life,
related to life, derived from living matter", it's hard to imagine what
non-organic life would mean. DNA-based life isn't just the most obvious kind, I
think, but rather the only kind we know of. Isn't that why a virus is
considered a borderline case, because it only "lives" by highjacking the DNA of
more proper organisms?
In any case, I can only wonder what Ian is referring to.
