    System boundaries form the spaces in which "assemblages" from different systems can mingle... providing new problem solutions from different environments (Assembly Theory... Endosymbiosis)

    Whatevr.

    That's just babbling.

    Can they put it into algorithm?

    Can they model it?

    from the link: The idea of endosymbiosis offers a different lens through which to view the evolution of life on Earth: it turns “survival of the fittest” on its head, and suggests instead “survival of the most well-integrated team.”

    Yawn.

    BS.

    That totally ignores technological, meta-level, system of a systems view.

    OBVIOUSLY!!! any live thing is part of Biosphere, and can survive within it and in co-operation with other ONLY!

  3. //Or is it better to live w/o ever recognizing the absurdity and suffering (like Lessing's son)?

    Well. Miriads of animals did that so far.

    As well as most of humans, self-blinded by all kinds of religious crap

    So, what's the problem, Doc?

    1. No problem. I'm more "Last Man" than "Over Man". I like to blink a lot...

      “We have invented happiness,” say the last men, and they blink. They have left the regions where it was hard to live, for one needs warmth. One loves one's neighbor and rubs against him, for one needs warmth... No shepherd and one herd! Nietzsche, "Thus Spake Zarathustra"
