*:At the moment biologists believe to have an idea about how life developt from dead matter. This could be seen as a phonmena of emergence:
simple particules => complex organisation => life => more complex organisation => “consiousness” (or something that feels like it)
I believe that materialism and determinism is not a illogical concept. To be honest I even used to be very sure that we live in a mechanistic-materialistic determinism. I also liked and enjoyed this worldview a lot.
I’m quite far from sure now. The fact that prevailant interpretations of quantum physics could in my opinon solve the mind-body-problem, was just one contribution to my ever increasing doubt. But still I cannot reject this worldview as illogical.
For the “evolutionists”; improvement is meant to “randomly” occur through the selection of good gene stock (or, rather, by “filtering out” bad genes). However, if the process was truly ‘random’ wouldn’t the genetic potential be somewhere between zero and absolute for each new cycle?

Now, instead of taking things ‘seriously’ and working inside the sphere of fear, we each can come out of the closet and take on things directly… a premise you stated well in the Zen article. Once we know without a shadow of a doubt that we each have absolutely nothing to fear because we each have nothing to lose, we can have boisterous, belligerent fun with the monstrous bs happening on this planet. Calling spades, spades, and calling out the slimy fear-covered sycophants never felt so gratifying.
Hell, one day we may even hit critical mass and chain reaction, thanks in part to Mr. Einstein.
