The Chinese 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵 "it's not for sale"? That's not a decision that can be made by the lessee! The government can either sell the port as leased, or break the lease (at a cost) and sell it unleased.

The renter 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 gets a say in the sale of a rental.

“…our conversation can be read as an attempt to rescue Darwin’s insights from a cramped materialistic framing and to champion Jonas’ ethical and phenomenological call to acknowledge the interior dimension of life—while clarifying how Jonas sometimes conflates Darwin’s ideas with the mechanical worldview he rightly criticizes.”

“He [Hans Jonas] sought a new cosmological narrative that locates intrinsic value and interiority in nature, and that calls human beings to become morally responsible for Life… Darwin, ironically, can aid this quest if we appreciate his rich references to the agency of organisms, their mutual influences, and his resolute rejection of fixed essences.”

“…read superficially, Darwin’s ideas can indeed tip into a vision of “mindless, purposeless algorithmic” selection—a view popularized by several late-twentieth-century biologists and philosophers (eg, Dennett, Dawkins). … Yet Darwin’s own texts, especially when read in the context of thinkers like Whitehead or Peirce, open onto the possibility that teleology is not an external imposition but a creative principle intrinsic to living organisms…”

“Darwin wrote extensively on animal behaviors, local adaptations, and reciprocal relationships that speak to co-creation, not a fixed environment imposing design by negation. Modern complexity theorists have taken these insights further, highlighting how variation and selection act alongside emergent order, morphological constraints, and even convergent evolutionary trends.”

“…many biologists, craving the prestige of physics (“physics envy”), indeed tried to reduce living phenomena to clockwork processes or gene-based instructions. However, Darwin himself took a less reductionistic approach. Darwin was not imposing a precise blueprint upon nature but describing how purposive behaviors, preferences, and local constraints yield emergent patterns of speciation.”

“Tim…suggested that, if one generalizes Darwin’s principle in line with thinkers like Charles Sanders Peirce or Alfred North Whitehead, natural selection can be extended beyond biology to show how constraint and self-organization interact with selection-like processes even in physics and chemistry. Understood in this broader way, variation and selection become part of a generative schema of immanent form-production, not just a set of blind mechanics that weed out unfit mutations.”

Lieben Dank, @h0ldi 🙏

Aus meiner Sicht ist erst einmal entscheidend, dass gerade auch wissenschaftlich Denkende akzeptieren: Charles #Darwin hatte Recht - auch die Religiosität ist ebenso wie z.B. die Musikalität ein Ergebnis der #Evolution. Religiöse bilden kooperative Gemeinschaften, die sowohl lebensförderlich wie aber auch gewalttätig werden können. Entsprechend kommt es auch hier auf Dialog, Wissen & dialogischen Monismus an. Eine Sendung dazu von #QuarksundCo : scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-

Natur des Glaubens · Quarks und Co zu Glauben, Wissen und der Evolution von ReligionIn der Oster-Folge 2014 von "Quarks & Co" ging es um die Evolution von Religion. Dr. Michael Blume wirkte darin mit.

Computer simulations suggest that evolution itself could be evolving, depending on environmental pressures, meaning that the processes that change living things get revised as well. @ScienceAlert tells us why “this ain’t over yet.”

Charles Darwin: "I had, also, during many years, followed a golden rule, namely, that whenever a published fact, a new observation or thought came across me, which was opposed to my general results, to make a memorandum of it without fail and at once; for I had found by experience that such facts and thoughts were far more apt to escape from memory than favorable ones."
