Life Is An Error-making And An Error-correcting

I Speak About Universal Evolution And Teleological Evolution, Because I Think The Process Of Evolution Reflects The Wisdom Of Nature. I See The Need For Wisdom To Become Operative. We Need To Try To Put All Of These Things Together In What I Call An Evolutionary Philosophy Of Our Time.

When You Inoculate Children With A Polio Vaccine, You Don't Sleep Well For Two Or Three Months.

When Things Get Bad Enough, Then Something Happens To Correct The Course. And It's For That Reason That I Speak About Evolution As An Error-making And An Error-correcting Process. And If We Can Be Ever So Much Better - Ever So Much Slightly Better - At Error Correcting Than At Error Making, Then We'll Make It.
