A Brief Time of Histories

An Argument from Dissapative Structures
Dissipative structures need to replicate exacting duplicates of themselves to further any other aims each organism obtains. The selfish dissipative structure fills all available space in three dimensions and in self-like fashion at another level of complexity, spacetime. And in some cases, and without loss of generality,at some level of complexity and at some generally applicable accuracy and precision be measure, and in some specific case this measurable event erupts in an emergent dissapative structure, creating its own place in the cosmic environment.
It is far easier to advance with the arrow of time but even advancing in the direction of increasining entropy with the bournarys of consistant space time which is in all cases a measurable constraint of the cosmic environonment.

Every one is marching forward together in an ensemble of dispositions. Those elements or centroids of effect within the larger structure enlivening and being enlivened in a cascading emergence of advantages of enduring the slings and arrows  or the lucky fate by the hand of providence.









Mark Twain was a rationalist and surrounded himself his entire life with the best rationalists on the planet. Darwin's Origin confirmed a confirmed stance repeated at intervals that there is no particular notice of our race than there is of a single pole cat because no one is there to measure us. We ourselves are the measure of a man and the fix was in from the beginning of the tragic spectacle. "What is it all for Mama?" his youngest daughter had asked and this confirmed this universal condition of the race. I sincerely believed that a rose could not smell like that unless I got a proper explanation of sufficient reason for smells. My senses would not beguile me with the experience of sensation without explanation.

A rose emits complex biochemical compounds that are absorbed by my complex biochemical compounds. To the selfish rose, I exist to extend the phenotype of roses by spreading the genes of the roses. To a rose I am for more roses and perhaps other unexplainable behavior that does not affect roses.

This is one answer to the question Clemens posed and he knew it. We all know it and we all deny it. We are here so that bigger things can happen to people, places and things greater than ourselves. The slave exists because a god and the slave owner made a bargain. The new owner could treat the slaves as he wished without risking calamity from the god as long as he continued to agree that god was cool and all for not sweating the details.
