Alright. Despite the smileys, I take your response to imply
you're willing to discuss this. So: why does the information
that living organisms are preserving seem to you to be
"more important" than life itself?
Or you might like to focus on this more general one: don't
most serious modern thinkers disparage the sort of
teleology displayed in your "evolutionary project" concept,
and the general implication of fate that such writing reeks
of?
