To what extent does this describe evolution? :-)
- otikik 4y agoThat is my description of evolution. The part that isn’t there is all negative: that it doesn’t (can’t) care about individuals. That it doesn’t (can’t) “understand” what is doing. That it doesn’t (can’t) “design”; it can only iterate. That it doesn’t (can’t) care that the intermediate result is inscrutable to us. Mostly clarifications for people who anthropomorphize the process.
