They do not “eat fungi corpses” you absolute buffoon. Plants absorb resulting nutrients from their decomposition.
And where do those microbes, when we go far enough down, get their energy? By eating amino acids that would otherwise form into life.
I would be curious to know how easy you think abiogenesis is achieved.
I guess you could say this is the bottom of the chain as long as fetuses aren’t people so amino acids aren’t life, but that seems like a cop out at that point.
Plants don’t decompose fungi, they absorb already decomposed fungi. And I wouldn’t say that the absorption of rotten fungi is “eating”. Plants still need other life to survive, but there is much more of a symbiotic relationship, not this Nietzschean idea that you’re proposing.
We certainly know that the building blocks of life are abundant like amino acids, but life itself isn’t. Protocell formation is still hard, that’s why we still have a hard time replicating it. So the amino acid consumed most likely wouldn’t have become life. This was my point.
I said “this is just you conceding” in response to this, nothing to do with “life doesn’t exist so quickly”:

It’s not a cop-out, this is just you conceding.
…So they eat their corpses. Thanks for agreeing with me? What do you think the word ‘decomposition’ means?
It’s apparently not / that / hard.
It’s crazy we’ve gone from your position of plants don’t destroy other life to maybe life doesn’t exist so quickly.
