Virians,
I collected a few "Virian Axioms", which I guess are related to this topic. Here they are:
"Complexity must be grown from simple systems that already work."
"evolution is the non random selection of randomly varying
replicators." -- Richard Dawkins, _???_
If truth is the goal, rationality is the way
No mysteries are sacrosanct, no limits unquestionable; the unknown will yield to the ingenious mind. -- Max More
All true isosemantic statements about objective reality are
non-contradictory.
(much more than virian -- this is a scientific axiom)
Lucifer, the bringer of light, represents the open questioning of all dogma; the power of doubt to cut through crap; ultimatly, lucifer is a symbol for the failabilty of humankind, and the consequences thereof.
Participation builds commitment.
