[MD] Distinguishing Levels

[ian glendinning]

Gene,

And a very good thought too. I see no immediate reason to claim that
is actually happening, but no reason to say it's not going to evolve
that way. (One thing about evolution of distinct species, like
intellect from social, is that it can only be discovered in
retrospect.)

Who knows even something higher than intellect may evolve one day too,
but by definition we'd have great difficulty envisaging what that
might be using our intellects.

You got me thinking. Thanks
Ian
