anyway most people who speculate about alternative biochemistries make huuuuuge assumptions in areas that aren't their primary area of expertise and so very few sources on this subject, even among journal articles and stuff, are very good/accurate

there are several elements that behave "enough like carbon" at a small scale to be really tempting to speculate about but all of them have very serious issues when you start thinking about how large molecule analogues like proteins and nucleic acids would work (they wouldn't)

Dick Dorkins speculates about Silica based life. But I think he's betting on any intelligent life being carbon based. And definitely coming into existence through natural selection/evolution.

lol there was one of those pathetic trump-supporter rallies AND a pizzagate rally by each other in downtown DC today, and one of the pizzagate idiots was arrested for stealing a microphone from the trump rally

i'm not sure if he thought the mic would make his voice loud by itself but pizzagate people are so loving stupid that, like, probably

Like Dell’Elce, Lent said Trump was not to blame for the failure of the healthcare bill.

“He may be the best negotiator there is,” Lent said. “But he has to just rely on his own party and deal with the Freedom Caucus and all of the hardcore conservatives.

“Sometimes you have to meet in the middle, right of center. The Freedom Caucus should be able to do that. Paul Ryan’s healthcare plan may not have been the best healthcare plan there was but it was still better than Obamacare. Everyone should have met in the middle of right of center.”

I forget the exact reasoning but some Big Science Man spoke about this at length and it has something to do with silicon not playing as nicely as a liquid as carbon does. Requires much more extreme and novel conditions to be something that flows and could carry nutrition throughout the body.

So anything silicon-based would probably be something without blood and totally alien to us, as in we wouldn't even recognize it as living unless we saw it moving which isn't a for-sure thing that it even would be mobile, or would have a blood analogue but we'd never see it because it can only live on a planet hotter than Mercury

i'm not super into scifi but i'm reading the hyperion series right now and it's pretty cool and good. the expanse series is kind of hilariously neckbeardy, but it's a good crazy story.
