But all evolutionary dynamics reduce
to WDB2T. The Biology 'knows' that
it's action is 'appropriate' to the degree
that it's action 'climbs' WDB2T.
So it's WDB2T that 'coordinates' all
of the Biology, including the way that
nervous systems 'blindly'-and-auto-
matically 'seek' TD E/I-minimization.
There's no 'magic' in-it, but under-
standing with respect to this WDB2T
stuff is 'just' another 'thermodynamic'
that is instantiated through nervous
systems' ranging-widely with respect
to WDB2T, and, thereby, 'knowing'
how to continue to 'climb' WDB2T,
but with respect to =many= things,
simultaneously.
It's just more of what Biology does -
more of what differentiates Biology
from inanimate physical reality.

Thanks to WDB2T, 'she' is not 'blind',
but 'she' has remained only 'blindly'-and-
automatically 'moved away from' by 'her'
finest creation - our nervous systems.
What I've been doing, for lo, these many
'years', is finishing 'here' work for 'her',
after having gotten-instruction directly
from 'her', with respect to that which
Needed to be done to achieve this end.

When the demands of 'climbing' WDB2T exceed
organisms' WDB2T-Determined abilities to 'climb'
WDB2T, Biology 'waits' for the energy-gradient
that is WDB2T to become less-steep. Then the
Biology continues it's 'climbing' of WDB2T.

I probably do, too, having Lived an
analogous way, all of my 'years' :-]
Still "She" remains at an energy-gradient
that is 'too-steep' - still I "chas[e] after"
her :-]
Both your marsupials and I do it be-cause
it's in-us to 'climb' WDB2T in a way that
'recognizes' [in my case, Recognizes] that
the only possible way in which I can con-
tribute to the =overall= 'climbing' of WDB2T
is by "chasing after females" [in my case,
"Her", and, in my case, Knowing that,
even if I never reach "Her", the "chas[e]" is,
itself, a 'climbing of WDB2T that has bene-
fit, overall :-]

An instance of 'climbing' of WDB2T that
is blatently-obvious [and so-Beautiful be-
cause it is].

Yes, and, as above, it's not 'blind' at its
most-fundamental 'levels' - 'just' at its
phylogenetically-newest 'levels' - which
is why I've been busy, hauling-Knowing
up to those highest-but-Youngest 'levels'.
Nurturing the Youngness in-all-of-us.
Connecting-the-dots.
Completing-the-Knowing.
Enabling Cognition to Know that which
bacteria have 'Known all along'.
It's 'funny' that such is necessary, but,
since it is, it Needs to be done - so that
will, at least, have a fighting-chance
against the bacteria.

'These' are all 'just' one thing: WDB2T.
All variation exists be-cause local WDB2T
varies with experience [including, in a com-
pounded way, all of Biology, all the way
down to it's most-fundamental 'levels'. [I
can "chas[e] after" "Her", but not "catch" her,
be-cause "She" and I are 'apart' as a result of
experiential happenstance. But, in my "chasing
after" "Her", the efforts I exert alter others'
local WDB2T, and, so, others find the 'climbing'
easier - they 'win' through my efforst in "chasing
after" "Her" :-]

As for me, I "chas[e] after" "Her" - just
like your marsupials :-]
It's Knowing NDT's stuff that allows
me to lift-folks-up, with respect to =their=
'climbing' of WDB2T, even though "She"
and I are 'apart' as a result of experiential
happenstance.
You know - I've seen the Beauty in WDB2T,
and am lifting =myself= up with respect to
it.
Part of what's in-that is the Recognition of
how the same-stuff acts in =all= folks' Liv-
ings.
And what you, and others, have 'presumed'
'to be' my 'pathology' is just my Love for
others, and the way such Love is Actualized
within my Being.
Sure, 'trashing' folks is superficially-'easy',
but, if one caves-in to doing such, one
elevates the WDB2T energy-gradient in
the lives of others.
So, if one caves-in to 'trashing' others,
one, thereafter, exists within the elevated
WDB2T energy-gradient that has resulted
from one's own Choice.
Why do such?
To 'catch' "Her"?
Such doesn't work, be-cause it'd impose
the 'same' elevated WDB2T energy-gradient
upon =Her= Living, wouldn't it?
Yup.
The ranging-widely Discloses that it's so.
Love wants for others what they 'want' for
themselves - TD E/I-minimization.
I Love "Her".

Yeah, I do.
It's just that, it's fallen to me to
Know that which was 'missing'.
Cheers, Peter, ken [k. p. collins]
It's 'funny'. I started watching =Cast Away=
this 'night', but've switched to watching
=shrek= - just at the point where "Shrek"
delayed in rescuing the "Princess" to save
his "Donkey" :-]
I like both flicks, and have viewed them
both multiple times, but the island scenes
in =Cast Away= are too-Real for me to
'enjoy'. just 'now'. Toninght, I'd rather
laugh about "Blood the Flatuent", and the
"Hunters running away from him" :-] kpc
