...isn't Earth what happens when a gazillion "asteroids and comets" bump into each other?

While everything on Earth came from comets (and asteroids, which are basically just sun-dried comets), this isn't about Earth. It is about one minor detail on Earth called Life.

That said: Another day, another proposed abiogenesis mechanism. I am looking forward to the day one of these gets promoted to a model.

The real thought experiment is rather more philosophical than Betteridge's law allows. It goes like this:

If Bennett Haselton writes a time and motion study on ice sales at Burning Man and nobody gives a rats arse, did he actually get laid?

What article?

Don't you read the newspaper?

There are two kinds of solar systems: "passive" systems collect the sunlight that hits your home, and "active" systems collect the sunlight that hits your neighbors' homes, too.

Well, that depends on:

(a) your definition of literally: (in a literal sense vs. virtually), and

(b) your definition of definition: (explanation vs. perfect example).

The irony of this situation is left as an exercise for the reader.

It probably is not. Deep inside, the narcissist is aware that his life is an artifact, a confabulated sham, a vulnerable cocoon.

Oh and by the way Alex. Laughing at your own jokes? Fantasies of success.
