New Theories / Re: Universal Utopia? What's The Universal Terminal Goal?
« on: Today at 13:24:17 »Evolution requires at least 3 ingredients: random change, replication (i.e. non-random change), and natural selection. It directs the path to the existence of particular structures of matter in the future.This generalized anthropic principle has already at work even before life emerged. By simply being a replicator, a physical/chemical structure increases the chance of its existence, as long as its environment can provide the ingredients. Genetics and memetics are additional layers of indirection that can improve the effectiveness of non-random changes.
More conscious entities depend on more non-random changes, and depend on less random changes.
