Dan Glover said: I'm not much into politics. The wheel turns. Now is the time for stupid people to rule. That'll pass as it always does. If you accept the basic tenet of the MOQ, that quality and morality are identical, then you might also see how what's better is driving evolution on all four levels. And what's better doesn't necessarily mean intellect always rules.
jc: Thanks Dan. That helps. It helps a lot. It helps me, at least. Dan: I read this article about how birds what live along roadways are evolving shorter wingspans. That doesn't presuppose as some would have it an intelligent being overseeing such happenings nor is it a matter of chance. Rather, birds with long wingspans are unable to fly away quickly enough and are killed by cars thus unable to propagate. Short wings are better. jc: The California Condor, for instance, is no longer actually viable. They survive, but only because interested humans intervene to breed them in captivity. Out in the real world, they're hopeless. Since they make their living on dying animals and the most common dying animals these days are creatures roadkilled by the new millennium's need for speed, they are sitting ducks, tucking in for dinner, on two lane stretches with death looming in the headlights at 65 mph. They need shorter wings. Don't we all. yours, jc Dan: There are so many ah ha moments in life which we gloss over. Especially things that don't fit our preconceived notion of the world and our place in it. If the MOQ teaches us anything, it should be to wake us up. To be there. To give our attention to what is right in front of us instead of forever planning for tomorrow.
