It seems to me that should Greene be dead then he most certainly could be “less alive than he is right now”, but perhaps I’m wrong. After all, you do appear to be the expert on this issue. May I just clarify a point or two though? First, just who, exactly, is the ‘we’ that you mention? Second, to what, exactly, are you referring when you state that “human life could be advanced”? And third, from where, exactly, are you observing we non-life advancing humans from? Where are these pews? Are they metaphysical, or are they situated maybe just a little way past Mars? Thanking you in advance for furnishing me with the largesse contained of your cranium. Sincerely, bemused.
Post Script. Oh, and just one more thing, why aren’t you allowing the advancement of human life to progress “right now”? I mean, you can’t criticize anything without already knowing the answers, right? Or at least not without admitting that you don’t have them, anyway. But you didn’t, and so you must. Thank you.
