Extraordinariation paradigm?
Clearly “survival” is necessary. Obviously. But it is far from
sufcient. Thus, necessary, but not sufcient.
“Survival,” in my paradigm, does not occupy the
overwhelming paramount position ascribed to it by
many
many
“survival of the ttest” 19
th
and 20
th
century Darwinists. If it
did, we would see far more species of slugs, and
radically
radically
fewer species of butteries.
At the same time, over the eons the relative
priority of
priority of
survival to extraordinariation may have intermittently shifted:
More species with high probability
survival in-place
survival in-place
> more emphasis on extraordinariation, etc.
More species in a precarious
survival situation
survival situation
> more emphasis on survival.
Clearly, to stay in the game, survival is necessary.
But we hypothesize that overall, the macro–signature
theme of our cosmos is “extraordinariation.” In any event,
while this area, like most areas involving the cosmos is
nuanced and textured, the key thrust (extraordinariation) is
clear.
