    Odd equation
    Todd · 06/16/04 at 2:02 PM ET

    However Todd, your view that “…meaning is not located simply in an individual brain but in relations and interactions between us,” appears to be an attempt to gain “meaning” through “complexity” and/or “chaos.” It doesn’t really work. So what if “The mind is actually extended beyond the individual brain, in a logical rather than paranormal sense, and this is why human values can transcend individual reproductive survival”? One could say something similar of termites.

    You equate humans with termites, I do not. I believe that human agency has differences that make all the difference to this question.

    Thanks for yout thoughts !

    Todd
