      I just wanted to ask what lesson we may derive from the fact that more than 99% of all species that ever lived are now extinct

      Evolution is an exquisitely beautiful chaotic process with lots of dead ends and failed experiments. What I find most wonderous is that the three of us are even here to be able to contemplate it all.

      Evolution is a fascist slaughterhouse. Nothing is the universe has caused more suffering than evolution. Perhaps we can use AI to end it?

      Your words imply a degree of intentionality: evolution is as indifferent to all life just as the sea is indifferent to me when I step from the shore.

      Fascism is the only form of state level social organization that is fully aware of evolution, and embraces group selection as normative purpose. Evolution is racist, speciecist and genocidal: not intentionally, but via functional emergence.

          Are you calling for more fascism here or am I misunderstanding? Intellectual games are fun, until they are not...

          No, to the contrary, I just explain why I am not such a fan of evolution. (Not the theory, but the actual thing itself.)

          I wish I knew. It may be a good idea to try to understand, independently of doing. Agency over beliefs may be the only agency we can get. Our actions seem to be shaped by the stories that we tell ourselves about who we are, and these roles are accidents of birth and biography.

          It even breaks innovations resulted from its own creativity when they lead to “unwanted” progress...Horrible...😳😉
