To requote Solon - congratulate no man on his offspring till you see how they turn out.


Hawking's son has produced a son, so he has succeeded in the only endeavor Nature "cares about", that is to say reproduction.

So you are nature now?

Me, even if I were to buy that nature [and why when you insist there is no mind you buy into "nature" beats me] "cares" about reproduction, and does not "care" about other things, say blowing up the planet or extinguishing species, I am enough NOT nature that I do NOT consider Oom Kyril's boy a success.
