Anons, I'm disappointing. Too much answers and nobody speak about On the Marble Cliffs.
It's the greater book of Junger. Deeper than Storm of Steel and accurater than The worker (which is a strange mix of false ideas, intriguing theories and genius intuitions).
Jünger never stop to thinking on his world, it's great to see how he change during his life, but he remain the same guy.

And Der Waldgang (The Forest Passage) is good also.

there's barely anyone here that knows this guy

Are video games art?
Is art a game?
painting and other art mediums became high art once the upper classes started participating financially and intellectually, what would it take to make video games high art while relying exclusively on it's defining feature(gameplay)?
I think art, especially in the digital age, has become harder to make. There's only so many forms you can express before a change in values is necessary
Obviously corporate needs to get cut down first.

>He means scientists don’t disagree specifically on viruses as alive.
Wrong. The scientific majority agree that viruses aren't alive and do so for pragmatic reasons that differs from the minority. Science is the pragmatic study of expression and expression is only bound by rules expressed.

>scientists don't disagree on anything
>Yikes
Scientists make new theories by invalidating previous ones, they NEED to disagree and they always do, that's how progress through competition is made.

We eat to sustain maintenance then reproduce when full maintenance is no longer viable.
Viruses figured out it was easier to just reproduce and stopped trying to have complex methods for maintenance.

It's like herbivores, why bother with photosynthesis just eat plants that do the photosynthesis for you.

>Not him, but viruses are not considered alive
Scientists disagree.
Do you need proof that cat is not a furniture
Shit example, all though you could argue that furniture is a parasitc meme.

>can't prove viruses are not alive
>ignores the implications caused by his previous claim
>doesn't even try to disprove the initial claim that viruses aren't can be considered alive when parasitism is accounted for
So are you actually gonna make a good argument?

>they aren't living things.
No argument.
>they are essentially as living as computer viruses.
Irrelevant.
>they're computer viruses in a genetic form.
So you're implying computers are alive but viruses are not? and with no argument.
