what? evolution isn’t just random mutation, it’s also environmental selection & recombination (for the most part iirc). in the right environment, if some species evolved some mechanism like flight or time keeping - so long as it would be beneficial to survival in the environment it will endure. it’s definitive proof you don’t need a conscious process to create complexity. sure there’s baggage & imperfections, but it certainly gave rise to higher order phenomena like consciousness & intelligence - if only by accident :)
- hshshshshsh 2y agoYes. What I meant was nature doesn't generate a mutation based on thinking through what is good for the species or individual. The mutations just happens randomly and the ones which are beneficial continue to pass through because it ended up in the genes that reproduced. Unlike designing a plane for example which consists of thousands of decisions carefully thought through based on a human objective.
