natural selection at the largest scale

Evolution / Natural Selection at the largest scale we could possibly ever know about - and the idea might of course be forever non-testable.

There's an earlier post on this here - http://jaysenn.blogspot.com/2006/10/natural-selection-of-universes.html

our tools are broken

Regular Reminder: Social networking tools and other information infrastructure that is not owned by us (copylefted) is almost by definition, fundamentally broken - because anything less, severely limits the extent to which we can use, experiment, and grow these into useful universal assets .. esp true in the long term.

the list of our broken tools include facebook, google search, and the operating systems windows, mac-osx, ios, and bits of android. (linux is completely ours)
