Arnoud, not exactly the anthropic argument:   Conceptual necessity - There is a concept out there which is the root of all reality.  It is not a person, an entity, or a mind.  It is a concept like the idea that circular logic doesn't prove your point or mutually contradictory percepts cannot both be true in a self consistent system.  It's complicated, very.  Kind of related to a corollary to entropy.  Complicated dynamical systems generate cool stuff like self replicating elements and they generate multicellular systemic emergent behaviors.  It's not chance; it's determination.  Bosons, fermions, atoms, galaxies, stars, planets, DNA, cells, organisms, societies, information, computers, AGI's, the Singularity, it's all inevitable because of conceptual necessity.       Mike Deering, Director, http://www.SingularityActionGroup.com To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
