Just to be able to a better and deeper understanding of the four levels. Is it possible to imagine an evolution on ANOTHER planet? Would that evolution follow the inorganic-organic-social-intellectual path? What is then the universal determining factor? Or, would it be possible for that evolution to follow any other determining factor, separate from what have happened on our planet. Is a planetary evolution free or determined? Is the universal determining factor free, determined or to some extent determined and to another extent free? At least something to think about on the way to, or from, the bar.
