This is not a satisfying response to me.

It's because you don't get it. You're in manic mode and can't finish one thought before flitting to the next barage of quotes.

In the section I quoted to you, Thomas invokes 'design' as an aid to arrive at a question which is obvious without invoking design. Can you comment on that?How is the design perspective helping her? I made no comment on her "terraforming hypothesis"--I haven't read anything beyond what you posted. It sounds gaia-ish.

I leave it to the lurkers to judge the coherence of my thoughts. If you don't want to talk about this, no one is forcing you. I'll see you later.
