Methinks that the Peirce's 'reasonableness' is based on what he calls the
'social principle' and that it is the reasonableness of evolutionary love.
The ideal of the community is love.

P.S. I am very sympathetic to your line of thinking. I have a presentation

It is very Platonic – as in the Timaeus. The Architekton (Mind of the Universe)

Peter, Jon, List –
I think it is interesting that technological advances allow the 'weaker and
less fit' to survive and thrive.
The entire history of human evolution is one of technological developments that
have allowed the weaker members of the population to survive and thrive.
Consider cloth
nterests of the individual and the interests of the whole are inseparable.
Thank you
yours,

My soon to be completed book 'supposedly' deals with all this and lays out the

Anyone want to critique the readers draft in December?

I think that it might be helpful to explore the meanings of:

The reason I formulate the Scientific Hypothesis that way has to do with making

Try thinking of 'post-scientific' this way:
Quantum physics and Relativity are post-Newtonian.
The spherical earth and Copernican solar system are post-Ptolemaic.
What is important is that the previous theory is 'technically' false (viz not
objectively true; incomplete) and that the superseding
d by Chaitin,
Wolfram and others, is the necessary logical consequence of materialism and
also not scientific.
