I find the drive for explanation odd, though by no means unwelcome. The general human world seems almost entirely mad, little better than the world-views anthropology reveals, despite our science. Physics has its fossil record, with most of what we live in locally down to a couple of quarks and the electron. The digging is rather more complex than that of the archaeologist with her spade and brush. Biological intelligence may well produce little more than Nominal's greenhouse gas and biological evolution itself, seen from the future, may be little more than a small phase. The thought of humans flying through space playing out current soap opera fills me with dread, the lack of consideration of pleasure with Data or Seven-of-Nine appalling.
We already have the concept of ourselves as hapless vessels of the gene-machine, and know of such as the sperm wars and our existence in a co-evolutionary arms' race. That we might be a transitory tool in a universe developing for its own 'purposes' might be a better vision than the Attic tragedies of literature. The bleak current is our powerlessness in some economic system that burns and poisons the planet we need to survive and in which we vote for various mad-to-be despots leading us on the charge to the centre of this volcano. Let's face it, we humans are unlikely to survive each other. Currently, we would have to leave this planet through space hostile to biology reliant on gravity, needing protection from space weather, in the hope of a planet not with micro-organisms 'waiting to eat us'. Even there, we would still be in a universe expanding to 'photon heat death' and have to set ourselves to moving to another one. Could there be another evolution going on that might assimilate us to an actual intelligent form, capable of a very different relation in what we currently describe as a particle field, or various addresses in space-time? Biology has long considered an information world, but we seem to have little idea of what we might be other than as Nominal's fart-producers in 'essence'. What is Socratus' Planck-small in our gravity-focused address? On Wednesday, 4 December 2013 18:55:24 UTC, nominal9 wrote: > > Like I said elsewhere... ESSENCE... BAD WORD....
