I'm probably dredging up the skeleton of a dead horse here that I just stumbled across, but I find the idea of evolutionary "progress" an interesting one. Mary Midgley called it the "escalator fallacy." Michael Ruse also has a great essay on it if you can get your hands on a copy of that book.

Oh. My. God. That essay's so old, I read it and thought, "Who wrote this? Oh, fuck, I wrote it." This is exactly why I beg people to disregard everything I've written before 2011.

Reading those posts makes me feel kind of bad for writing that essay.  :'-|

Heh, no problem. I've literally made bonfires out of some of my old writing. Writing anything worthwhile requires churning out loads of bullshit first.
