where did everything we like and value came from? (everything, even things we take for granted).
life, growth, learning, evolution, progress, production, innovation
parenting, education, training, the shoulders of giants [and perhaps no sign of a limit of this growth into the future]
some technology examples:
- [carrier’s “machinists as bedrock of civilization”],
- my bit about how hubble telescope wasn’t designed from scratch or whatever, had antecedents in ancient rockets and old old telescopes, and other simpler satellites [and each of these had their own progressions].
- Then, of course, carrier’s bit about using a particle accelerator to see what was on those ancient erased documents,
- and my bit about how our VIEW keeps expanding [with microscopes and telescopes and forensics and archeology/paleontology and so on][and even the semi-permanence of writing systems].
"Entropy Vs Life". Entropy is merely a statistical phenomenon that requires vast quantities of particles to hold true (or, you would not speak of entropy if only one particle existed), yet gets elevated to the status of "law". Given the right quantities, is "the random accident" of life also a statistical inevitability?
