Yet in the new thinking, based upon chaotic systems, even such quantum effects can create massive outcomes, the tiny perturbation is amplified exponentially until it shifts the macro system to a completely novel state, a bifurcation in properties - state space expands into a new modality, its maximum entropy grows but local order increases also. The future is always indeterminate, sufficient chaos resides in life's processes such that all plans are merely possibilities, assumptions from limited knowledge. Certainty is not part of life. Given this, our future state cannot be predicted from our present one, we could not predict the personal computer from the steam engine, or the plastic mackintosh from the bearskin. Which direction we choose to pursue is entirely our choice, all options are open to us unless we deliberately close them off, unless we deliberately restrict our own choices out of fear or prior knowledge.
Past rules are replaceable, past constraints transcendable.
The impossible just hides behind the wall of ignorance and prejudice.
