Ray Peat Interview, "On the Origin of Life"

This is one of my favorite interviews of Dr. Peat that I often refer back to, on the topic of the origin of life, its fundamental nature, and its relation to energy. I believe it's one of the oldest recordings of him too, from January 2000. They also delve into some interesting conspiracy stuff about abiotic oil and such. I thought I would share it here for discussion in case some of you haven't come across it yet.
“The spontaneous polymerization that occurs under volcanic conditions creates substances with intrinsic functions. The living state is a substance that is always being renewed as it interacts with its environment, and from the larger perspective, it is an evolving catalyst that modifies the environment so that the whole system approaches equilibrium with the energy that flows through it. Since the evolving system stores energy in its structure, the cosmic energy sources and sinks are at the boundaries of the system, and are the only questions that (so far) transcend the issue of life in its environment.”
-- From "Physiology texts and the real world," article by Ray Peat
