Whence Arises Consciousness? Part 1: Consider Viruses and Organoids

Much to its chagrin, the demiurge cannot create life or imbue consciousness into dead matter. This episode examines viruses and organoids to uncover the fine line between living and non-living forms, and asks the question: what is life?

This brain organoid shows odd toroidal clumps of tissue. Organoids cannot level up to form organs.
Bacteriophage virus. This machine is a molecule. It is not alive.
SARS Covid-19 virus cross-section, displaying coiled RNA payload. A molecule. Viruses are not alive.
