[Arlo] Here, with evolution, we see a singular process (the movement of patterns towards "betterness") occurring throughout nature and history. I think it's a safe inference to say this process will continue. Indeed, I think evolution is simply the visible manifestation of Quality.
[Case] Arlo, you have made this sort of statement several times and while it jibes with Pirsig, it does not accord well with evolutionary theory as I understand it. What is this "betterness"? Is this "betterness" in the sense that history is written by the survivors so it is or was better for them? Or do you see this as "betterness" in some metaphysical or cosmological sense? This smacks of teleology and Microsoft Word does not even recognize "betterness" as a word. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
