[Platt] I quote Lila regularly. [Arlo] I could copy and paste the same three sentences from the Rig Veda every day, doesn't mean I understand it.
[Platt] What theories are you talking about? [Arlo] Which teleological theories of purpose are not contradicted by the MOQ? The purpose of life is to serve God? The purpose of life is to procreate? The purpose of life is to "move towards freedom"? To live a life of virtue? To fight maturity? To live it? Here are some other ideas. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080514120702AAWBcl8 So, are all these correct? That would mean "purpose" is completely relative, doesn't it? Or are these "teleological" accounts "wrong", and only your is "right"? [Platt] As for relative, we know you're a postmodernist where even truth is relative. So why believe anything you say? [Arlo] Oooo...you forgot collectivist, nihilist, fascist and totalitarian. [Platt] Who knows? Like I've said, chance means "We don't know." The overall movement of evolution is obviously toward greater levels of versatility and freedom. [Arlo] Chance means not pre-planned. What you see as "obvious" is merely Gestaltian illusions of your vision. There was no "plan" to create you, because there is no "intelligent designer". Oh, wait, forgot, you worship a Quali-god who is an "intelligent Quality with volition and intent". [Platt] Or would you rather be a mule? [Arlo] I don't know, but some days "dolphin" or "snow leopard" seems kinda desirable.
