[MD] Free Will (footnotes to Plato)

[118]

Hi Joe,

I prefer the notion that evolution follows free will.  I have a
problem with placing things under the theories of evolution.  Quality
does not evolve, since such a concept makes Quality subservient to
evolution; as if Quality has to follow certain rules.  Quality begets
evolution.  Certainly one can see reality through the prism of
evolution, but this does not work for me.  I find it too aggrandizing.

Cheers,
Mark
