Ironically, in the future we might learn that the first replicator required "chance" in the same order of magnitude.

90% of drivers can be better than the average.

Tom, I did not confuse ends and means.

The problem with Communism is timing. In the future (if we survive the next century) there will be enough technological progression to create essential Communism (no-one needs to work, everyone will have necessary resources to live incredible lives and so forth). Of course, we won't call it Communism.

Computing power is also increasing exponentially.

Eliezer, are you unaware of the fact that biological evolution is only a subset from general evolution?

Even if biological evolution would allow one-generation mutation for "Storm abilities", it would not equal that evolution doesn't explain anything. Even if everything "is possible" in evolution, there can still be different probabilities for different outcomes. The probability for "Storm ability mutation" is non-zero.
