More of this please, lets speculate!

Any reasons why we shouldn't prioritize organic life? should we go looking for a fight with some inorganic life?

If we're going to Mars around 2035 and a huge drilling operation isn't on the cards i'll be pissed.
I don't think its unreasonable to expect to find life elsewhere within our lifetimes.
I don't think we will be much further along with the inorganic life question.

The questions change over time, no one wondered if life could exist in a black hole 100 years ago, and in 100 years time our knowledge of black holes might render the question pointless.

GL proving the negative, nothing taught in a science class has ever been factual.
Newtonian mechanics is still taught because its usefulness for engineering isn't even close to it's expiry date, for all intensive purposes.
