Order vs. Randomness

[Mudhammam]

The only thing I have to add to that is that I would not describe inanimate matter as having a "mind of its own." There are "rules" in our universe, that cause local patterns of order to emerge, and among these the possibility of actual minds. For all we know, "the cosmological constant" that "needs to be set to 1 part in a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion" was a lucky shot that fails a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion times every trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillionth of a second in the "quantum vacuum" or whatever is the state of existence prior to universes. Like I said, that one very, very, very small feature in our Universe is intelligence is the "luck" of having an almost infinite number of various physical states emerge, as it happens in a flat universe, and among these include organs called brains.
