However, there could be a good deal of semantic

consciousness.
In other words: Does he have the ability to want to
do siddhis on demand, independently of what nature
"wants"?
If he is enlightened, then what nature wants and what he does are
the same thing; indistinguishable.
This is speculation, not a trace of evidence for it. Equally
speculative but not as much based on flawed authorities like MMY
would be the statement that among the unenlightened, and the E'd,
there are varying degrees of "what nature wants". In addition, there
is much concrete evidence that the E'd can/do perform acts contrary
to nature: say, molesting underage females. In addition, in the realm
of economics, about the most we can say is that economics is
inherently an evolutionary process; and in evolution there is a great
deal of "trying out" things resulting in a vastic heuristic interplay
of forces. Even saying "what nature wants" is presumptuous
tantamount to a tautology. In essence, in view of the unscientific
character of such claims as to a. not E'd - problematic but b. E'd
OK, everything is supported by nature; this is a typical MMY urban
myth. I think it's high time - in the spirit of Sam Harris - to at
least use a modicum of logic, if not a strong dose of scientific
evidence. Please, no "MMY said so" - therefore it must be true!.
