Evolution is, at least in my view, one of the most beautiful ideas ever conceived in the mind of man. It is a thread that runs through all of the disciplines of science. It has had profound impact on history, philosophy and art. Of course it is not all about struggle and those who have used it to justify manifest destiny and social Darwinism have long ago been discredited. Again this is just me but in many respects I think the Tao makes Darwin redundant and the MoQ offers a synthesis of the two.
I take shallow as a compliment; the more entrenched I get in any concept, the more blind I become. In terms of the theory of evolution having a profound impact on history, I agree, especially by those who have been discredited. I would argue that evolution as justification for behavior is still rampant, and will also be discredited. I have struggled my way to the top of businesses with such an illusion. Evolution as an concept is perhaps indeed beautiful as data can easily be used to support it, thus providing some security in our need for organizing. If evolution is indeed the driving force for what we are, what about the driving force which provides the rules for evolution? Is this not all part of the same thing, nature dancing with herself, or Tao? I am interested in learning more about the synthetic aspect of MoQ, as that is why I joined this forum.
