Armando... The process of natural evolution clearly has the power to "correct" bad habits, individually and communally, thereby keeping stuff going in the right direction and on the best route. Even an evil person or a bad nation with wrong deeds or rules can be corrected by collective groups of normal experts or lawful nations. Furthermore, while in evolution the exploratory path may be wrong, the anticipatory goal will be good. The very presence of solar systems ganged together by gravity in this universal galaxy as macro mechanisms of matter is sheer proof of this process. (Incidentally, any "normal expert" need only be an "ordinary average" in any given situation.) ---Frances

It only takes one sick leader to change the good end goal. Uncontrolled population explosion certainly does not do much for your good end goal. Greed imbedded in all of us helps little. -----Original Message----- From: Frances Kelly <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, December 29, 2010 11:12:33 PM Subject: RE: "Is today's [art?] irrelevant?" Frances to Armando... Allow me to offer you some possible realist corrections to your support philosophy, which seems to be some kind of subjective relativism. The "final end goal" of any mechanism of matter or organism of life is to be found in the highest state that it has so far evolved to. In regard to normal human organisms, that state for all of them as a whole is cerebral and mental and psychical and intellectual and logical. The meaning of human life and the motive for human existence is therefore for thinking humans as a collective community to make the world they sense more rational, and thus their behavior to each other more reasonable. The greatest exemplar of evolving humanity is hence those actions found in say art and tech and science. The differences of individual singular humans are quite irrelevant to this inclined outcome of the species; and after all, the determination of anything made by an individual person is unreliable, because they might unknowingly be suffering from diseased deluded illusions. Only a learned group of normal experts can provide any assurance of certainty about anything, and then even this assurance must be held as evolutionary and tentative and fallible. In other words, simply because a sole person alone posits and believes what they deem is a nice artifact or a sound theory does not make it so, because the artifact may be bad perverted pornography or the theory may be false wicked stupidity. -----Original Message----- From: ARMANDO BAEZA [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 29 December, 2010 8:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: "Is today's [art?] irrelevant?" here we go again,'Good end goals are as diverse as each individual mind. Clones, we are not. Humans still kill Humans and some still like Dislike strange things.
