Entry: Climate of Here Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/climate_of_here#18821 Post contents: JIm: Yes, it is easy to say that change is good, in the long run. In the short run, change means disasters of differing magnitudes. The point of evolution is based on "selective extinction", that those individuals, and whole species, who are not adapted to their environment die off, leaving the planet free for those who are. Fine if you are one of the survivors, of course. And you have no guarantee that you will be one. Of course, you might say that your grandchildren will benefit. If you have any children by the time of your extinction, of course, and they do not become extinct before reproducing, then your grandchildren will benefit. Evolution works by surviving disasters. It is not an all-wise, all-beneficent Mother Nature. Moter Nature is a bitch, or rather it is an Aztec Goddess, drunk on the blood of its own children. Change is never for the better when She is involved. Sent at: 2008 10 07
