You know, I think I like your fuzzy brain. This rabbit and ball analogy
is brilliant! Small question, though. How does level 3 fit in? Does
that correspond to multiple rabbits? If so, does that mean they all
pull in different directions on the ball and thus slow the bioligical
evolution, or all combine together and thus speed the genetic evolution?
