Summer really is over.
Anyway, coast to coast had a guy on who was pretty interesting, a dr. who'd
written a variety of books, two recent ones discussed were on disaster
preparedness and intelligent design.
His book on intelligent design was interesting because he used his
scientific understanding of the complexity of the human body to question the
mechanism of blind chance producing it. A very Pirsigian insight, imo.
Ron:
This really is coincidental to what I have been reading also. Blind chance
doesent cover it, but the act of prefference does.
What does this leave us with? I would hesitate to concieve of the infinite flux
of
the act of prefference as "Intelligent" or would I?
If consciousness concerns intelligibility and the intelligiable as what
concerns
whats "best"
Could it not then be said, that intelligence creates the world we live in.
Ron:
That's the direction the MOQ leads me to. Substitute "values" for
"intelligence" as a synonym and we're off to the races. Then the laws of
physics become static (laws of) values, in existence because they're better
than nothing.
