thanks for that Fodor article link, will track down the hard copy we get at work for the rest. Glad to see there are giants come before me, even if there shoulders are gone, and we have to make do with dwarven rings:
" “We are artifacts designed by natural selection,” Daniel Dennett wrote, to which Fodor said no. “Darwin’s idea is much deeper, much more beautiful, and appreciably scarier: We are artifacts designed by selection in exactly the sense in which the Rockies are artifacts designed by erosion; which is to say that we aren’t artifacts and nothing designed us. We are, and always have been, entirely on our own.” "
