[MD] Quick one: causation

[Steven Peterson]

Hi Platt, all,

Platt quoted:

> life has some purpose." (Lila, 11)

Steve:
As I recall, The MOQ supports the idea that evolution has a purpose in
freedom from static patterns rather than conformity to some plan of a
particular static pattern. It opposes teleological theories which
insist that life is evolving toward some specific form or any specific
conception of the good.

Regards,
Steve
