Thanks for the compliment. It means I believe in the Pirsigian view that
evolution is teleological in the sense that it deliberately and purposefully
moves away from the physical laws of the inorganic level. "Mechanisms are
the enemy of life. The more static and unyielding the mechanisms are, the
more life works to evade them or overcome them." (Lila,11). I believe
evolution drives toward "betterness" by seeking greater consciousness and
freedom. I summed up my belief this way: The law of evolution: "That's
better."

So what do you think this purpose is? What is the 'better'?
