Philosophy : What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years ago?

What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years ago?

What would have suffered any loss?

"Need" is just a fiction. As is "should", "must", "value" and "importance".

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years

The nitrogen cycle for one.

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years

Would it be heartbroken or just annoyed?

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years

We're moving to jokes now, or?

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years

Depends. Were you joking about the nitrogen cycle?

"Need" is just a fiction. As is "should", "must", "value" and "importance".

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years

No, of course not. There would be a loss in what had been the nitrogen cycle. You don't agree with that?

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years

I agree nitrogen would not act as before nor would hydrogen or oxygen but again, what is suffering?

This isn't about you being an Aspie or pretending to be one re how you're reading particular words, is it?

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years

I'm not one, I'm not pretending to be one. It's very simple: If organic life died, what would miss it i.e. what would be worse off for it?

"Need" is just a fiction. As is "should", "must", "value" and "importance".

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years

Those are different questions than whether there would be a loss with respect to anything.

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years

if all organic life had died out, you wouldn't be here to ask the question, Matt. None of us would be here to read your question.

In the kingdom of the blind, you're the village idiot.

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years

Correct but irrelevant to my question.

"Need" is just a fiction. As is "should", "must", "value" and "importance".

It's funny how people would rather immediately do their own spin on a philosophical issue then take the question on as is.

What do you think? Viruses etc need organic life to survive. Would Earth be dead?

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years ago?

Viruses are organic life as well so yes, Earth would be as devoid of life as the Sun.

The question is what is "loss" really?

Is this the tree falls in a forest question under a different guise?

Re: What if all organic life on Earth of had died out say 200.000 years ago?

No. It's the "Who cares?" question from the exact opposite angle.
