The Huge Difference Between Machines and Living Beings

The difference is simple - all life occurs in cells, that are very complicated. and full of huge organic molecules, that are interacting constantly - and can self-replicate.

Machines are much simpler, and have to be made, and maintained - by people.

The Industrial Revolution - a huge event we have never understood very well, put machines (made of metal) at the center of our lives. And created a new kind of people, who thought themselves superior to ordinary people.

They created a new economy, dedicated to Manufacture (in factories) and Transportation (by Railroads and Steamships). And people who served them, were made rich, and powerful - by them.

This is an important point - the people who served machines, became powerful - and also became like them. Hard, and capable of domineering other people - including their own children. And, of course - women.
