I've heard that between chaos and order, complexity happens. Complex
adaptive systems have evolved and continue to emerge in greater
complexity. That's life (AKA extropy).
As complexity accelerates due to technological positive feedback and
autocatalytic network self-organization, it leads to what I've dubbed
"hyperplexity" -- a consilience of knowledge so immense that no ordinary
human can acquire a comprehensive understanding of the entire system. (It,
nevertheless, helps to discuss it in forums like this.)
Greens remain immured in Newtonian stasis. Reality contains more potential
for extropic evolution than is dreamt of by any ideology, especially one
as timid as that propounded by the Greens.
