A Thought

Matter that acts in a manner inconsistent with the matter around it necessitates another law acting upon that matter (an airplane under the law of aerodynamics in contrast to raindrops falling to the ground due to gravity). Matter existing in the universe under universal law tends to be broken down  into its simplest components. However, one type of  matter (living matter) does not break … Read more

Progress

If things can improve, this means that there must be some absolute standard of good above and outside the cosmic process to which that progress can approximate.
