This overextension of Darwinism is the actual betrayal of Darwin. It has zero explanatory value. How can you describe or explain anything objectively if every concept is gauged by its spreading factor? Concepts are inferences, that's why some of them get repaired or replaced.

Yes, it's just akin to a conversation between a rationalist and someone who believes in god in this or that guise.

Nature might as well be a God (Gnon). The more we try to understand it's rules, the higher the probability of reward.

Whether it's a mindless God or not is irrelevant to this statement.

God is omnipresent? Reality is omnipresent. God is omnipotent? Reality not only can, but does do everything that can be done. God is omniscient? Reality is already the thing which is to be known.

Except that the blind idea of reality is as much idiotic as the belief in a God.

Don't be naive. The concept of reality requires adequate qualifications. Reality is never given on a silver plate. Reality is found and constructed by the labor of objectivity.

Otherwise, reality has no significance, it literally stands for stuff. Only when you project structure onto it, you realize that you are beholden to some law-like constraints.

Luckily I'm not stupid enough to think you might have said something meaningful. Nice dodge though, I'm sure it works on the lower classes quite well.

I can Sokal Hoax too. "You see the hermeneutics of sense-data indicate that one's model of the world supervenes upon a shifting narrative derived from the utmost effort put into one's theory."
