Is Reality "Intelligent"?

I understand that you want to reach deeper in understanding your historical relationship with nature. It’s a perfectly sound approach as it looks at the entire evolutionary story of the “emergence” of humans species.

I’m confused by this jump.

I do believe that Daniel Dennett’s “Physical stance” addresses only the body response to external influences, such as gravity, a physical response.

But I do like the concept of the “Intentional stance” that addresses the quasi-intelligent mechanics of the entire human biome.

Okay, now we’re reinforcing the obvious

In another thread, we talk about “purpose”. I believe Daniel Dennett addressed this with the concept of “Intentional stance”, i.e. all parts of the human biome have a purpose, they must do what they are evolved to do. Their intent is to do what they do. Just as homeostasis subconsciously keeps the body’s biochemistry in balance.

Okay, all that seems fairly straightforward, if not obvious. Though why brainiacs get a pass on the need to write clearly and concisely, rather than through convolutions rolling into each other like waves at the beach, I’ll never get.

Still my main question is: how does that plug into a personal appreciation for the evolutionary process and what it has to tell us about ourselves?
