I think I see… so it’s not the complexity of individual organisms that you value, necessarily, but rather the overall complexity of the biosphere? That is, if system A grows simpler over time and system B grows more complex, it’s not that you value the process that leads to B but not the process that leads to A, but rather that you value the process that leads to (A and B). Yes?

Edit: er, I got my As and Bs reversed. Fixed.
