So Alain's claim is then "Our varying states of chemicals in a saline solution are unstable because we are only chemicals in a saline solution"?
That's trivial as can be.
It is trivial, but it's because the great-grandparent of your comment is essentially a statement of the parent. When you combine the two, you get a pretty trivial statement.
The parent is not, as the grandparent takes pains to be, 'respectful to the complexity of the human condition'. The grandparent is obviously true. The parent is fairly unintelligible: in order to make sense of it, we have to define moods in such a way as to make it an empty tautology.
