Great to have you here @dhruv!
What do you think is the most complete modern theory of evolution? Do you see room for non-random mutation (e.g. see https://kk.org/mt-files/outofcontrol/ch19-d.html)?

I don't feel like I know enough to choose. I do know that the more I learn about molecular biology, genetics, &c. the more I realize how, well, "evolved" it all feels :) It's not as precise as Mendel's peas, fitness landscapes are dynamic, the information theory analogy is imprecise, and so on.
I will say that Kevin Kelly is always interesting and this article doesn't disappoint. Non-random evolution seems very natural if you're a pantheist, right? :)
