Thanks! It’s true there are many things I don’t understand, and I'm in awe at the discoveries of biochemistry and molecular biology. I will consider adding Prigogine's definition in future edits of this essay. In fact, I was a student of Isabelle Stengers, who co-authored Prigogine's books La Nouvelle Alliance, Order out of Chaos, and the End of Certainty. Both Prigogine and Stengers drew a lot on the work of Gilles Deleuze, who has played a significant role in bringing discussions of vitalism back into philosophical discourse. Anyway, back to molecular biology. I was recently in a zoom discussion with students in the midst of pandemic lockdown. Thanks to the biological science of life, our bodies are safely vaccinated and we know how to avoid the virus. Excellent. Now, isolated in their rooms, cut off from physical contact with others, students were asking how to live their life in these conditions. How to live a better life, how to connect with the lives of others, how to help the lives of others? They are all physically healthy so that's not the issue. How can molecular biology answer their questions? In order to enlighten me about this, I would be interested in an answer that (1) refers strictly to molecular biology and biochemistry, without any reference to any form of philosophy, vitalism, teleology, metaphors, values, spirituality, or religion in any sense, implicitly or explicitly; (2) Uses only current knowledge without requiring any faith in future advances in biology; (3) Can be put into practice in terms of helping people to make choices and orientations about what they should do with their lives while in isolation and beyond; (4) Given the physical isolation, does not require obtaining mind-altering drugs. Only words, and only about molecules. Looking forward to it, thanks!
