> Species aren’t hurtling toward a fittest design once and for all. in this one single sentence you demonstrate that 1) you do not understand classical Darwinism, 2) you do not understand modern Darwinism, 3) you have not read Darwin, 4) i could go on

Darwin never claimed species are "hurtling towards a fittest design" There was a "popular misunderstanding" of Darwinism, I will grant you that, which believed that, but this was almost never taken seriously in science

There was no other way to conceptualize time except as linear in the 19th century, and so teleology was built into notions of process. This has been updated.

Time *is* linear -- but history and biology aren't. Darwin understood that. The "literalist historicism" you're talking about is akin to claims that the Ancient Greeks could not perceive the color "blue" and it is yet another major BS moderns believe.

What Deleuze did was (1) discover a deeper phylum common to all things, and (2) render scientific law impossible while preserving objective knowledge. He didn’t “update” Darwin in the sense of adding knowledge or theory. He transformed Darwin’s world.

this is wrong sorry, he didn't discover any phylum, his concepts are fuzzy, his tools are blunt, reading it makes any Darwinist vomit

This might be because you haven’t grasped Prigogine and the revolutions in 20th c physics. You’re also retconning Darwin to reflect later things, like nonequilibrium dynamics. Also, has anyone posited that Deleuze has updated the body of knowledge of biology?

he makes claims that touch upon biology. those claims also happen to be (mostly) wrong

After Sol @Locus_of_CtrlReplying to @qdnoktsqfrthis is roughly true except that the emphasis should be more on "we do not know" (which divergence will prove fruitful) rather than on "survival of the most divergent" (which fails in >99.9% of actual instances of divergence due to deleterious mutations).1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
Well, that’s convincing!
