A statement about chaos, order and the nature of consciousness

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2018)

Annihilation seems to wraps very muscular set of arms around all the notions of origin of life, evolution and the meaning of existence. Its likely no coincidence Jennifer Jason Leigh played in the movie eXistence. It leaves us with a nagging question of whether or not chaos can produce order or if the only explanation for order is the existence of will. Without will and order biology is simply a very complex kind of cancer. If random mutation is truly random then there is no reason it should move slowly or quickly or that it should move at all or in any direction. Complexity and simplicity are meaningless without will ordering the systems.
The ramifications of a will and order to life are the impetus behind drives such as loyalty and guilt and the inability to fulfill our desires with a simple replacement. Replacement is a big concept in this story.
Trying to replace organisms and trying to replace relationships. There is hole in the lighthouse which may be a metaphor for the hole in our souls. In that hole is a malevolent yet meaningless thing that wishes to replace us. That thing must be destroyed by fire. The lighthouse is a warning for ships to watch thier course. Perhaps this is a cautionary tale of the chaos that comes from trying to replace the order that has given us life.
