Anyone can read this wiki but no one has any writing privileges there. I welcome all sorts of comments here and will try to get back to any questions reasonably quickly.

One of my important interests is Evolutionary Philosophy.

This is a topic that is particularly active on this Darwin Anniversary year.

It starts with the concepts of Darwinian evolution of life on Earth including the modern systems concepts that show beyond the basic "survival of the fittest" a system needs to have the ability to evolve and the ability to cooperate when the situation arises. This results in a complex ecology of different species in an environment.

This concept can then be extended forward to include the basis of human interactions.

More significantly it can be extended backwards to the origins of our universe and the physical laws that control everything. The big argument is that the improbable balance of many critical parameters in the laws of physics that led to stable atoms stars and life did not happen as a random chance but evolved as the universe cooled from the big bang and uncertainties diminished by "choosing" a path that maximised recycling and enabling evolution.
