I’d say that that these two opposites (regulation vs. freedom to just create) will always exist side by side.
We tend to argue for one or the other and hope that a clean ideology will emerge from it because it makes our understanding of life so much simpler.
But if I continue my way of argumentation, I’d say this ‘pulling of opposites’ is a built-in feature of our existence. The really smart outcomes emerge out of the tension that exist between these opposing ‘forces’.
In the case of my evolution example, the two opposing forces are life on the one hand, and death (or the non-living environment), on the other.
Very abstract, I know. But this world view has been expressed by at least one thinker who formulated this ‘natural law’ if you might call it that: Henno Martin in this book (I couldn’t find an English translation): https://www.amazon.com/Menschheit-auf-dem-Pr%C3%BCfstand-Men...
