In order to reconcile the discrepancy in views, you must demonstrate how selector intelligence and selectee intelligence translate to intelligent evolution, and how that aligns the view points.

If it is transcendental, then you are suggesting an umbrella of super-ordinate intelligence that is pervasive in both selector and selectee without necessarily emerging wholly from one or the other, while being wholly involved with each, right?

The evolution of lifeforms on this planet is particularly simple compared to the evolution of language or something. This is because there is only one path from parents to children, while other information systems have quite complex inheritence. TP
