7Y.O.: ‘Why are we here?'”
NC: There are two views about that which go back to #ClassicalGreece, maybe before. One is we are here for the same reason that rocks and trees and grass are here. That is just the way the #RulesOfNature worked out, and they happened to lead to us just like they led to other things.
> The other answer, which goes back to Aristotle actually, is that everything in nature has a purpose and a function...then #Aristotle drew some pretty ugly conclusions from that...
