hi aa,
well, i don't really see evolution as a process designed to give free rein to human beings. if human beings inhabit or create an environment that suits other critters better (eg bacteria, rats or cockroaches), then evolution will tend to support the expansion of critterdom and the shrinkage of humanity.
the way i see evolution is a process that permits varying speeds of change but over time asserts a kind of gradual change average.
whereas paradigmatic change is rare and in my view mostly occurs in virgin territory. for existing environments, incumbents battle innovators. and the future usually develops out of the past along an inclined plane.
i've said the paradigmatic model was likely to be inefficient for years. it's nice to see wave adopting a one step at a time approach. by all accounts, simplification is working. megalomania has its drawbacks.
