The act of eating is a service.

[Patrick]

My apologies if I am beating a dead carrot, but:

The "deeper question" I offered was: Is it possible for physical lifeforms to exist such that the biochemical processes of one only act to support those in all others?

I just thought it a highly relevant question. Nobody wants to discuss? Or is there perhaps a concern that the contemplation of this might lead the discussion in a direction that we have pre-determined to be "unacceptable"?

I actually posted an answer to this, but then I deleted it. I did not yet find a way to word it in a way that would not go into discussing stuff like 2d eating 1d+light/love to grow. But then I realized I did not want to talk about what we eat, including what some 2d bacteria eat.

So instead I try to find info on technology that we currently have that would make it possible for us to sustain ourselves without ending any incarnations. Tech that would allow us to eat 1d basically.

I understand the mods. I can't see how to discuss this. :-/

Seriously, you can just delete the thread. I'll post something in a science/tech thread one day...
