Hi there,
So this is what I don't get: you can transition into almost anything, as a species, kind after kind after kind, and then due to selection pressures prevailing against you, you can be put straight back to the kind you were, but not less. How does that even make sense?
I mean if I am human, then alien, then alien type 2 and 3 and 4, then a strong wind blows consistently against me in a way that favours humans, alien types 1, 2, 3, 4 all go back to being human, in some way. As if mankind just blows about in the wind, as to what he was and what he was for?
The aim is to be adapted as possible, one would presume, but without agency that you only get by keeping design constant, you get nowhere - I mean you go back to nothing, and you get nothing and it means nothing, because you don't know what it stands for?
For some reason, selection pressure has just continued to drive variation, without asking anything in return - is this a strength now? Oh, perhaps; is there going to be strength later? Oh, we'll see -- it's just craziness.
I wouldn't object but then it stands to reason, that alien 4 could return to a better human - human #2 - not simply human, as if that justifies hanging in there, until it's found out: what the changes are and how they benefit us?
There is a real divergence here, between what you expect and what you will actually want.
You can see that, right? That there is a difference between successive evolutions and adaptive evolutions?
(I put it to you, you cannot have both - successive and adaptive -, without a foundation)
