It's incredible that people actually think that Deleuze has new insight to add to Darwinism.
I mean, are you positing that Darwin didn’t think in terms of progress and teleology? Of course he did.

you got it! Darwinism is not teleological there is one common thing about Darwinism that people from outside misunderstand. there is parlance "birds evolved to fly" -- outsiders assume this talk is teleological -- but IT IS NOT
-
Darwinists understand *how* evolution works and that it is completely *not* teleological. there was never a perfect "shape" the birds evolved into. But they will say (myself guilty of this) "X evolved to do Y" because that's a mental shortcut
-
in the back of their head of course Darwinists understand that it's never like that -- and they love to do "gotchas" on each other when someone accidentally proposes a "non-Darwinian" (read: teleological) idea
