Tools

I added ‘2001: A Space Odyssee’ to my collection of DVDs, which I consider a must-have. There’s nothing to get from the movie, and (naturally) there are conflicting interpretations. Who cares what Kubrick and Clarke were thinking: I do like the way how the invention of the tools is depicted in that movie. It fits neatly in with Darwinism, where coincidence is the major driving force, not (as many people think) survival of the fittest. Nor does Darwinism suggest that we originated from apes: the theory merely proves that we have common ancestors.
