Hi
How do you feel about a big rock
flying into the earth and destroying life on it?
Or religious conflict wiping out western civilisation?
Sure there is order, but hasn't DQ got both a creative
and destructive side? The precarious nature of creativity
and complexity ought to lead us to valuing it higher?
regards
David M
