[…] at the time of it’s origin is wasn’t yet understood that at the level of small particles the laws of cause and effect no longer apply; that electrons and photons simply appear and disappear without individual predictability and without individual cause.

So today we have a theory of evolution in which man is ruthlessly controlled by cause-and-effect laws of the universe, while the particles of his boy are not. The absurdity of this seems to be neglected. Physicists can ignore it they are not concerned with man. Social scientists can ignore it because they are not concerned with subatomic particles.

[…] The second law of thermodynamics states that all energy systems ‘run down’ like a clock and never rewind themselves. But life not only ‘runs up,’ converting low energy sea-water, sunlight and air into high-energy chemicals, it keeps multiplying itself into more and better clocks that keep “running up” faster and faster.

What’s the motive? If we leave a chemistry professor out on a rock in the sun long enough the forces of nature will convert him into simple compounds. It’s a one-way reaction. No matter what… we can’t turn these compounds back into chemistry professor. Then why does nature reverse this process? What on earth causes the inorganic compounds to go the other way? It isn’t the suns energy.. It has to be something else. What is it?

The law of gravity, a ruthless static pattern, one could almost define life as… organized disobedience of [it]. birds fly, man goes all the way to the moon, If life is to be explained on the basis of physical laws, then the overwhelming evidence that life deliberately works around these laws cannot be ignored.

Lila (1991), Robert M. Pirsig

Bisogna toccare il fondo a volte per scuotersi e darsi di nuovo da fare.
La corrente mi ha di nuovo spinto lontano, e ora mi tocca nuotare fino a sfinirmi, ma (chissà come, chissà da dove) adesso ne ho di nuovo la forza.
