Re: Common objections to 'Internal Evolutionary Mechanisms' (1)
The above link will take you to today's Main Blog post. It begins:
Brief notes on four common objections to current or historical proposals of internal evolutionary mechanisms (if you can think of any more then please leave a comment or email me):Naturally enough, as soon as I clicked on 'publish post' I immediately thought of another! But it can wait for another day - I'm still spending quite a lot of time on various blog-related problems and learning how to add additional features.
1) Internal Evolutionary Mechanisms are 'Mystical'
2) Internal Evolutionary Mechanisms are 'Lamarckian'
nb I've used An Error In Associating Lamarck With 'Adaptive Mutations'?
as a 'response' to #2 - the principle of "Words frozen in time should be differentiated from those carved in stone" being applicable to just about anything one might care to think of.
