Martin Schulz, 28 Mar 2024}, author = {Dennett,Daniel}, subject = {Order}, note = {I 94 Design/Dennett: there is no quantitative measure of Design. It is not undisputed that a car contains more design than a bicycle, a shark more than an amoeba, etc. I 95. E.g. plagiarism contains no less design than the original (> forgery). I 172 Design/Dennett: since each newly emerging crafted thing contains a huge design effort somewhere in its origination, the most economical hypothesis will always assume that the design is essentially a copy of an earlier design. Design/Dennett: Can it be measured? Can we calculate the speed with which the genetic drift accumulates deviations? There is a cap to the speed, the actual evolution is much slower. I 316f The "products" are not the gene strings, but the creatures themselves. DennettVsDawkins. Complexity/design/Dennett: what is the relationship between the two? It's about the right combination of simplicity and complexity. It is about "opportunities for simplicity". E.g. a simple Seagull outboard motor is famous for the fact that it never breaks down. Of the paddle we rightly don t think so highly. Design/Dennett: If you know something about the design of a device, you can predict its behavior without having to worry about the basic physical properties of its parts. E.g. operate a video recorder. E.g. construction of a VCR: only here one must observe the basic laws of physics. I 85f Design/Dennett: Design needs a creator - Order: needs no creator - Darwin: reduced design to order - there is no quantitative measure of design. - It is not undisputed whether a bicycle has more design than a shark. I 95 Plagiarism: is no less designed than the original. I 94 Design: is a great investment - hence: most designs are a copy of previous design.}, note = { Dennett I D.
