"of course it is!" -Dark
There's only one way to prove it.
That would appear to be the first order top-down perspective which might
inspire one to be the force of change vs. struggling to force change.
You've found my context well (at least in part) I think, that this is
very much a matter to shine light on the concept of an 'evolved mind'.
That I take in your sense to mean the wise, informed and even keeled
one- which I think those are evidence of. The difficult part is all the
vulgarities of evolving, and that is the part we need to connect. I
think that until the symbols are pervasive enough across all levels of
social strata we won't see a great change. The pervasive symbol of where
we are today is: (Theos or bust) vs (Nihil or delusion). There isn't a
security net for one who falls/grows out of Theology or is unsatiated by
Cosmology. I think the potential intellectual product of post-/modern
societies/thinkers is increasingly outgrowing the baseline symbols
provided by traditional institutions and tools. I digress, we need more
bandwidth.
I will consider these subtle and implicit symbols some more, this
message doesn't count. :) Any ideas?

Nice sentiment Ash! I guess the question is if that is possible? Well
of course it is! However I do not agree that the individual's state is
to compete in order to gain identity. This may depend upon the
individual but certainly this is not a mind which is evolving. The
reason I say this (I hope this is not out of context) is that an
evolved mind needs not to compete but rather be generative. Rather
than discourse, a sure course using subtle and implicit symbols
without making offense.

Whilst the point of any given thing may not be obvious, there is, most
certainly, a point to everything. There is a subtle implication in
the concept of the space-time continuum that in order to get from
point A (where we are at any given moment) to point B (the next step
after point A), we must, in fact, make a move. The fact that space
and time are joined and there is a single entity, the continuum, that
contains ALL of space and time is vastly important to your answer.
The problem with giving a specific answer, though, is the fact that
none of us know what 'the end result' is. Whilst it's completely true
to state that the future already exists, we don't know what it is and
have no access to it, so we can only speculate. Yet our ability to
speculate is, invariably, short-sighted, as we lack omniscience and
don't even see all the possibilities. So, whilst it may SEEM to be
pointless at any given time, that is, most likely, down to the fact
that the observer/speclator doesn't know where the universe is
headed.
If we knew what the 'end game' was, we might be able to more clearly
infer 'the point' of any given situation and how it may relate to that
'end game'; but, our inability to know the future prevents us from
seeing clearly what the purpose of 'now' is and our lack of
omniscience stands in the way of a full speculation on what may be
possible.
Hopefully, you'll get from this response is that we can know, with
certainty (because of the fact of a space-time continuum) that there
is a point to whatever it is that we are doing, as it is part of the
process that takes us from point A to point B, but we are hindered in,
at least, a couple of ways from seeing/understanding clearly and, I'm
afraid, that simply part of the challenge of life.
Hope this helps clarify why 'the point' may 'seem' pointless' but,
rest assured, if something has happened (or is happening), then it is
a hard fact that it was (or is) necessary, as there are no unnecessary
events in the space-time continuum. And that is a direct
philosophical implication of Special Relativity- Hide quoted text -
