[MD] Oneness, Dualism & Intellect

[Case]

[Arlo]
Here, with evolution, we see a singular process (the movement of patterns
towards "betterness") occurring throughout nature and history. I think it's
a safe inference to say this process will continue. Indeed, I think
evolution is simply the visible manifestation of Quality. 

[Case]
Arlo, you have made this sort of statement several times and while it jibes
with Pirsig, it does not accord well with evolutionary theory as I
understand it. What is this "betterness"? Is this "betterness" in the sense
that history is written by the survivors so it is or was better for them? Or
do you see this as "betterness" in some metaphysical or cosmological sense?
This smacks of teleology and Microsoft Word does not even recognize
"betterness" as a word.
