> we have NOT evolved where we are today by generating inputs to ourselves Sure, we have not evolved this way in the strictly biological sense, but we did greatly extend our capabilities this way. The jump in capabilities in the past tens of thousands of years is mostly from passing knowledge around and incrementally building on top of it. Often by building higher level abstractions, and building more complex systems on top of those, or by dividing the problem into distinct parts, and having people specialize.
