Well that goes back to your original contention that purpose is
located in your head. Purpose is only relevant to the purposeful agent.
[Arlo]
I'd say (maybe picking nits) "purpose is relative".
[Krimel]
I was confusing this with activities of the invisible hand which
suggests the trajectory of individual agents by the pattern exhibited
by lots of them.
[Arlo]
"Purpose" is actively constructed in the moment. It is woven from the
threads we see as time recedes from our eyes.
[Krimel]
Does this make teleology probabilistic as well? my, my.
[Arlo]
I would not expect any less from a nihilistic, collectivistic,
totalitarian, fascist, postmodern relativist.
