Reply to comment by [deleted] in Could microscopic life evolve to become intelligent? by [deleted]

There's this thing called "the edit button". But what does it mean for life to "Still be microscopic"? Is a multicellular organism not a colony of differentiated microscopic clones?

I would imagine something that you cannot see easily with the naked eye. The small.

Thanks. I'm aware of what microscopic means. Which is clear from the next sentence in my comment that is only 3 sentences long.

idk seemed like a simple question if taken in layman's terms. Your comment just seemed to throw more confusion at it to me. Why I responded answering to your question on what they meant by "Still be microscopic".

It's called a "hypothetical question". One asked not to gain information, but, in this case, to cause the reader to question an assumption that they have already made. This is a pretty simple concept.
