Nutrient beginning

[Chris Corrigan]

So far, at least the way this experiment has run for the past 15+ billion
years, THIS universe seems to value organization out of chaos.  Surely
that's not the only possible kind of universe.  There may well be universe
in which no emergent order happens, in which case, what is of value is that
which maintains the universe's own nature.  It's just that in this one,
order is good and therefore emergence is cool..

As creatures that have the ability to say that things are good or bad, we
ourselves are products of this emergent order and so we might then value
other emergent order with delight, as more things that look like us.

So juicy emergence may or may not be intentional, but it certainly feels
like that, because we are exactly that, and when we see it around us, we
give it a thumbs up.

y'think?
