SUBSTANCE WILL NOT RUN UNLESS THE FORM IS SET OUT FIRST

how are you going to stop chimpanzees cats dogs starlings and whales from becoming human ... in an evolved society wouldn't the stones talk ... isn't all the universe headed to one common perfection and headed there mentally ... well maybe not ... maybe the increments are punctuated by perfections ... maybe the one true perfection at the end of time is not the only one allowed ... maybe there's a metaphysical principle of subsidiarity as well as one in politics in ethics and in economics and psychology too ... maybe perfection is too explosive a being too triumphant a force to be completely contained and it has to pop up every second or so in space as often as it can ... and still be perfect that is ... and it gives to all life and matter moments when everything's OK everything's just right ... and the only thing that spoils it is the arrow of time ... the thing itself is if anything the target of time with decades centuries and eons stuck to it like arrows and javelins in a shield on the arm of the warrior running across the plain in obedience to the god calling over his shoulder
