- zepto 10y agoYou are calling people a random process?
- squeaky-clean 10y agoNature is the random process.
- zepto 10y agoOk, but the commenter said that people are making the meaning.
- goatlover 10y agoNatural selection isn't random. Fitness is selected for. Find meaning is probably a fitness ability for humans.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> Natural selection isn't random. Yes, it is; specifically it's a biased filter over a lower-level set of random change processes (which has its own biases) produces a biased-but-random (non-deterministic) changes over time.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIt totally is a random process. It's just not drawing from an uniform distribution. In fact, the process strongly influences the distribution it's drawing from.
- ori_b 10y agoMountains aren't formed by natural selection.
- squeaky-clean 10y agoThis man found a lot of meaning in mountains, rivers, skies and trees [0] and passed it to others. At least the first 3 of those are not made by natural selection.
