Mark, without fully understanding the implications of embracing Bohm or
Aristotle at this juncture, how effective would it be to exploit my
Heliocentrism-like reversal of the way that we see evolution, Man no longer
occupying the center of the biosphere, not as a 'stunt' but as a genuine
mechanistic insight to what evolution actually constitutes? Let alone
consciousness......so for example, in the way that I have conceptualized
consciousness as the endogenization of the environment, it would suggest
that all organisms are conscious relevant to their own environment and
adaptive needs. As you know, the question of whether this is the case
remains controversial......your thoughts?
