[P2P-F] Fwd: evolution of cognition : metaphor, metalingual definition, algorithm, and control (Anna Harris)

Interesting comments Anna.

I think this is a general difficulty with evolutionary schemes; whether
they are true or not, they easily lead to interpretations of superiority,

at the same time, I do think there is such a thing as the evolution of the
complexity of consciousness, which has been noted by many researchers (even
if the need for such complexification may be a result of disfunctions of
the society in which they occur)

my way out of this conundrum is the concept of Equipotentality,

contributory projects where everyone brings something to the table which is
exactly right for the particular project, and hence can and has to be
honoured,

Michel
