Hi Wade,
Kenneth here. I said that !!
<< Since when does any genetic effect have the choise to choose, to con-
sider which design- pattern it will use to built a brain...!?
It is the same logic...
Brain- building- cells have not any clue by which process, Darwinian or
Lamarckian for that matter, they built a brain and for what purpose.
I was just trying to point out, if we see apparent Lamarckian qualities in
evolution and evolution has no purpose for those qualities, what is the use
!?
So, IMO if we " see " those qualities, I wonder why and I asked myself
the questions.
And by which I repeat the question, what would be the bias for evolution/
nature or whatever for taking on such a consideration, like the Lamarckian
qualities are some, in its design if we " see " no reason why it should be
!?
Best,
Kenneth
