You've made some valid points about measurability and the material basis of consciousness. I acknowledge your perspective. 🙂

Life is a delicate, interconnected process, not a single entity.

Tamil philosophy contrasts 'Uruvam' (உருவம் - form, sensory) and 'Aruvam' (அருவம் - formlessness, abstract).

Form :

  • Physical objects (chair, body)
  • Measurable things (temperature, weight)
  • Concrete actions (walking, eating)

Formlessness :

  • Abstract ideas (love, time, gravity)
  • Emotions (happiness, fear)
  • Thoughts, consciousness

Life manifests as form, yet its essence is elusive, suggesting formlessness. How do you personally see life?

Is it primarily form, a sensory-perceivable process defined by biological functions? Or is it more akin to formlessness, an abstract concept, a set of principles beyond physical form?

Is life, in your understanding, simultaneously 'form and formlessness'?

Tamil proverb says

அளவுக்கடந்தால் அமிர்தமும் நஞ்சு

It's emphasizing that even the most potent, life-giving elixir can become poisonous if taken in excess.

My primary identity is Dravidian, and more specifically, Tamilian. Rather than Indian.
