Talk:Living World

Re-writing this page
I'm inclined to think this page should be renamed and rewritten. Rather than "just" a list, it should also be about the concept of living worlds (not just planets, as the list currently features several moons), discussing about how an entire biosphere which has a unified mind essentially renders the world itself a living entity, perhaps mention Lovelock's Gaia Theory and its criticisms, and so on. -- BlueFrackle (talk) 14:56, May 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that is a good idea, just renaming the page to "living worlds" would be sufficient I think... as not all living worlds are necessarily sapient as well. I might have to rethink the "sapient worlds" category for the same reason, as a rule though most living worlds in fiction are sapient... the page definitly needs a revamp to talk about the concepts of living worlds and such. ralok (talk) 16:02, May 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * also there are a few not mentioned here... or I am not sure if its mentioned... Ranx the living planet (formerly city), a living red lantern planet from the green lantern Animated tie-in comic, earth from one reality in eXiles, Id the living moon, Alter Ego, Mars from DC 1 Million. that is all I can think of off the top of my head... I am about to crash, will help reformat this page as soon as I can though! as I love pages on this wiki that deal with concepts. ralok (talk) 20:05, May 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a great idea to me, I hadn't thought about that. Please, go for it.  I unfortunately do not have the time myself to do it (we have a family emergency that I have been dealing with for a number of days now, and no idea when it will end).  Great idea, BlueFrackle, and Ralok too, if you happen to be the one who ends up editing the page.  I know there are a number of worlds not mentioned, but those are the ones I knew of off the top of my head.  "Living Worlds" is definitely a better name than "Living Planets", since Fannie Mae is in fact a star (and all stars in those books are actually sapient beings).  -- Somarinoa (talk) 10:45, May 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I've added some more info now, hope everybody agrees with the definitions I wrote, but if you don't please let me know! The hardest part was deciding whether living nebulae should qualify as "worlds" though I feel they shouldn't for practical reasons, but we can change that if you want. I've also added other examples that I knew of. I think the page is looking pretty great for now! But as Ralok pointed out, some examples are still missing, so let's keep working :D -- BlueFrackle (talk) 20:05, July 31, 2014 (UTC)
