Ralph, Platt, Platt, that "sense" is our matter of perspective as sentient and intelligent life. We interact mainly in the (dynamic) cultural space, and see our inorganic and biological evolution as essentially history (dead, static). But that is just a matter of our perspective. ie we can see the static dynamic choices in the cultural space, we can't see them so easily in the biological space.
Raplh, the suicide bomber may destroy life (biology) but surely the reasoning is socio-cultural. The intentions are not biological. Not sure exactly what you meant by "biocommunity", but it is surely lost common roots in socio-cultural community that are being overlooked ? BTW Ralph, not seen your name before - new or did I miss your arrival ?
