A "cosmos" is simply an ordered system and ordered systems are defined by
what they are not, thus the only way an ordered system can be understood is
in the light of this fundamental relationship with randomness which leads
inexorably to the Metaphysics Of Randomness Ontologically Necessary.
Or by it's oh so appropriate initials, MoRoN.
Capitalization pursuant to any old random way, and holding forth stupidity
as the ultimate basis of being. I mean, why do they call it "dumb" luck if
not to properly label the most elemental characteristic of randomness? That
being, no intelligence in it at all.
In fact, lack of intelligence in randomness is it's virtue; what is not
intelligent cannot control or compete with the ego. Stupid is the ultimate
value for such being.
Accordingly in this view, if any kind of ideas about cosmological design
arise, the most necessary thing is that they not be intelligent.
Heaven forbid.
Stupid design, dumb luck design. that's fine.
Just no intelligence please.
Actually Krimel. I see a great deal of hope for such a metaphysical stance
to be socially accepted; in a purely pragmatic way, you ought to pursue
it.
I look around and see all kinds of evidence that stupidity is extremely
popular, if you can make some bucks off it by positing its value, who am I
to blow against the wind?
Looking forward to further discussion, MoQist to MORonist, and vice versa
in whatever random/Quality fashion respectively occurs.
