I once saw someone describe evolution as a lazy man. Because evolution doesn't optimize for "the best", it optimizes for "good enough".

- hirvi74 4y agoI can believe this, for my brain has also optimized similarly. Perhaps, I have evolved? (JK)
- watwut 4y agoThe one description that makes most sense to me is the claim that evolution is not a god. It does not reason through issues, it does not have conscience and it definitely does not have goals. It is just a thing that happens through random changes and culling out very bad experiments. The mutation just have to be not too bad. And even bad one can survive forever if not everyone with it dies.
- hirvi74 4y ago> The mutation just have to be not too bad. And even bad one can survive forever if not everyone with it dies. Exactly. I have green eyes which is technically a genetic mutation. I do not think it provides any advantages, but it also causes no harms. It just is what it is.
