Interesting article. I may read The Time Machine again to grasp what's in store for my descendants, lol! I think the author is probably overreaching a tad, but it does cause me to wonder the extent to which phenotype changes in complex organisms resulting from natural selection can be predicted before they occur. Usually, it seems they are rationalized after the fact.sartezalb said:
That is a very good point raised by Feynman's work. I say the distinction does not matter- science is a tool, and in practice there is no reason to disassociate it from its specific applications- such as in engineering. But the question is philosophical in nature- as you say, a matter of opinion. I'm just stating mine. Also, vanilla is the best flavor of ice cream.
New information, thanks again!
