[MD] Some Abiding Beliefs-Part 2

[pholden at davtv.com]

Quoting Case <case at ispots.com>:

Case: So our purpose is greater consciousness and freedom.
Platt: It's the cosmic purpose. We go along for the ride, for awhile.
Case: Greater consciousness comes randomly but favors the beautiful.
Platt: For me, yes. For others I cannot say.
Case: Freedom is a lack of restraint in the pursuit of Quality.
Platt: Freedom is lack of necessity, coercion and constraint.
Case: Freedom is ultimately boring but thankfully unattainable.
Platt: Perfect freedom would be boring, but not something you or I need
worry about.

Case and Platt: That about sums it up.

[Case]
This just seems a bit vague to be a purpose. How would you say this
differs from entropy or the final disipation of energy? Which is after
what the physicist say is the ultimate goal of the universe. 

I have no reason to doubt what physicists say about the inorganic level. But
the universe includes more than matter and energy. It includes mind and spirit.
IMHO discussions of ultimate goals or purposes must include those realms to be
meaningful.
