[Mind's Eye] Re: Book Reccomendations

Same difference i think, rigsy; figure one out, you figure the other
by default; i'm not hung up on which.

You're probably right, i think all existential ideas must pivot on the
nature of man.

Seems to me that Darwin beautifully articulates process; "meaning" is
a higher order categorical space that evolution discounts by
integration, failing to recognise (or perhaps struggling to
understand), IMO, that "meaning" is the finest meme child of
"process".

Yes, i think the meaning of life, whatever it may be, must be
fundamentally and universally teleological; of which our individual
purposes constitute a first person kaleidoscopic subset.

Big questions this, rigsy; i'm thinking on the fly here, so if you
want to rip into them, yes please, feel free :)
