Three out of these four theories have an interesting pattern to them.

With good explanations in epistemology, we're saying conjectures in their refutations

and error correction is how we improve knowledge.

With genetic evolution, genetic mutations, variation, and natural selections,

weeds out the ones that didn't work.

And then there's mimetic evolution on top of that where we have ideas and then criticism

weeds out the ideas that don't work.

Related to that in invention, there's trial and error, or in capitalism,

startups get created and the ones that have bad ideas fail.

So we see this pattern recurring over and over.

What's interesting though is another matter pattern here.

And the matter pattern here is that humans are exceptional.

In epistemology, humans are the only non-begined reasoners.

In evolution, humans are the only mimetic creatures that we know of.

In the theory of computation, humans are the only universal explainers that we know of other

than of course the computers that we've invented.

So what's interesting is that science took us from this view of humans being at the center of

the universe to being actually humans are nothing special.

You're just one little planet out of an almost infinite number of now Kepler-like planets

that could be bearing life out there.

But three of these four theories that we're talking about are pointing us in this direction

of humans are extremely exceptional.
