Spaces of the possible: universal Darwinism and the wall between technological and biological innovation
1. Introduction For thousands of years, the western intellectual traditions, whether dated from the pre-Socratics or the first chapters of Genesis, have maintained a conceptual wall that separates the world of nature from that of man. However, during the past two centuries, a countervailing view has emerged. Its roots go back at least to Charles Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859.

More fearsome than the shadow of death
There is something more fearsome than the shadow of death. After all, the shadow of death comes only once. It’s the shadow of stupidity that we really have to worry about.
