"Genetics" (as defined in a previous post) translates into certain
worldviews ("virtuality", relativism, post-modernism, humanism,
buddhism, taoism, democracy, paganism, "feminism", emotionalism, etc.)
as: Everyone has an opinion and there is no way of knowing who is right
so there is nothing to argue about.
Saying that there is "nothing" to argue about suggests that there is no
"thing" which exists. This is acted out as mutual opposition to any
*thing* which manifests (opposition to "order", or intelligence--
anti-intellectualism) and physical opposition (competition) by which all
individuals are (theoretically?) destroyed.
This leaves a "mutation" to this worldview (i.e. intelligence) which
evolve in the wake of a blank-slate environmentalism (naturalism).
According to intelligent ordering, all non-ordered events are equally
selected against (and this solution is the only one which "proves" both
genetics and memetic theory).
The question arises as to how "intelligence" might have had a beginning.
If "intelligence" is defined as "order", then observation of the
environment suggests that things naturally settle into an order
according to their structure (like heavy things at the bottom of light
things, small things within larger things, previous things before later
things, etc.). That is, the order is natural, but the assignment of the
term "intelligent" is a human characteristic by which the interpretation
of this order is shown to have a human value.
Why is there an "order"? Because there is a "thing" rather than a
chance occurance of possibilities about the mean of zero.... that is,
there is "order" because the formula for chance is based on an
impossible permutation of what can be observed to *exist*. The question
could just as easily be: Why does chance exist (rather than why does
order exist)? And the answer is that there is no reason to suggest that
it does.
