ethical implications of homeostasis

==Ethical implications==
[[Philosophy of science|Philosophers of science]] generally extrapolate from the principle of homeostasis to the conclusion that adaptive evolution is contrary to the nature of life, since it relies on the repeated disruption of equilibrium. The principle of homeostasis also indicates that societal change tends to be self-perpetuating and ultimately self-destructive, since each change brings the societal system further from equilibrium, resulting in additional changes and ultimately collapse.
