Right, there's no need to be Pythogorean and claim the universe is a physical embodiment of number.

Now unless you want to dismiss the commensurability of the way we think with the way the world as a whole functions, there is hardly a chance that I will ever ever be a virtuoso violinist. Still, give it some time, and lots of it, every single person born could be a virtuous violinists, if only the direction of our evolution should find that advantageous. So far, the development of eyesight has found that chance.

Aspasia: " Still, give it some time, and lots of it, every single person born could be a virtuous violinists, if only the direction of our evolution should find that advantageous.
So far, the development of eyesight has found that chance. "

Sure if, hypothetically, playing the violin were somehow as important to human survival as is eyesight, then, yes, humans would eventually become experts in it.
