Got to Exist

Very informative and interest. 

But kind of starts of the wrong premise being taking Biologist presumptions declarations that viruses cannot be considered living. And biologically inert? This is sure gets around super quick for anything inert. Parasitic/ (exploitative) behavior is all over nature! Life doesn't have to fit anyone's terms and determination, nature decides.

Whatever the case, this is one has a form of advanced intelligence by its capability to spread in unprecedented ways, by that it is proving great survivability, therefore it has a life force, and of course a subtle body. It is organized differently than us and those and similar life forms, but so what.

Being bulky and complex as other living organisms even including bacteria would simply impede its modality of reproduction. Ultimately, they possess the capacity to follow an intelligent logistic for replication, so there should be no confusion or vain minimizing of what they are.

It s remarkable that they are able to adapt as a collective and very effectively, with far greater ease than animal forms. And, they can wipe out an entire culture, biologists can see that, they need to reckon.
