Man’s Conscious Participation in Evolution:
“As man becomes less of a subconscious function in the Universe, which he has been, and consciously employs his faculty to differentiate experiences and to reasssociate them in preferred ways, he will become more and more effective. By becoming more conscious and developing more and more orderliness, he simply discovers more facets of the Universe. Neither he nor the Universe are getting more complex. As he learns more, man is becoming more orderly, more understanding, and more understandable. I don’t find life less coordinatable. It is the increasing degree of man’s conscious participation in the evolutionary events of the Universe that is important.”
(The question was: “Do you believe the world is getting more complex?”)
