Nature speaks daily, speaks often, and speaks with force. Apparently, though, we don’t understand or appreciate her language. But we better start.
A well-designed world, not unlike the one Nature has created, has all the elements to succeed flawlessly including a monitoring and feedback loop so the system can self-correct to stay on course. When things go haywire, negative consequences abound. Machines, when they go haywire, often automatically correct themselves while still running. In the case of our system, it is up to us to see the consequences and take the necessary steps to fix them. It is a fool-proof system. Apparently, though, Nature underestimated the magnitude of the fool.
Since Nature isn’t around to literally speak the obvious, the author is going to take a crack at it. And if he can figure it out, no doubt, anyone can.
