Molecular programming (regarding happenings in nature)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the profound nature of self-replicating molecules, questioning the underlying reasons for their replication beyond the mechanics of evolution. It highlights the remarkable journey of these molecular strands, suggesting a driving force behind their complexity and the emergence of consciousness. The conversation reflects on the essence of life, proposing that it may simply be a series of chemical reactions aimed at replication, leading to increasing complexity without a clear purpose. This contemplation emphasizes the beauty and mystery of life itself.

This may be obvious to some, but have you ever looked at yourself and went, "woah"? Self replicating strands of molecules have come an EXTREMELY long way.

Does anyone wonder, "why?" Its like there's some form of driving force. (I don't mean evolution, that is the "how") I mean, why do these strands of sugars and acids seem to need to replicate? And isn't it crazy that after millions of years of this, some strange chemical reactions caused us to be able to "think" for ourselves? Is there really "life"? It's just sequences of molecules that seem to be dead-set on replicating so they can replicate some more, over time becoming more and more complex for no real reason.

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
