      This concept was mocked by anti-Darwinians as "hopeful monsters" because, again, they didn't grasp the timescale involved (a fish egg hatches a lizard that starts to drown but makes it to land just time?!?)

      But that's what most mutations are like Oh, some humans are melanin deficient, and that's bad because skin cancer, but it's also kind of good because vitamin D, so it's a wash People start living indoors most of the time and skin cancer is now rare? Hey awesome

      Chemo has not existed on evolutionarily relevant timescales.

      And neither did vitamin D supplements, although the need to consume vitamin-D-rich foods like dairy to stay healthy is theorized to be why white people evolved lactose tolerance

      But to be serious about it for a second, even pale people who've spent most of their lives working outdoors in the sun rarely get skin cancer early enough that it affects their chance at having kids From an evolutionary standpoint that's all that matters

      I mean, in the sense that water flowing downhill has a "goal", sure, and in the same sense that if the direction the land slopes suddenly changes then the river's course and its eventual "goal" change just as suddenly

      There is no "goal", the river doesn't "want" to empty in any particular place And this isn't academic nitpicking because the delusion of telos that underlies eugenics is a very common prejudice that's used to justify real-life discrimination against real-life humans

      I mean, like Dr. Manhattan says, there is no "end", nothing ever "ends" Humans aren't the "pinnacle" or "endpoint" of anything, if we all die in a nuclear war tomorrow and there's nothing left but cockroaches that's just as much evolution as anything that happened before now

          Even if evolution DID have a goal, i'm not sure why it's my problem. Evolution doesn't pay my salary.

          Or on the other hand, since I am a product of evolution, whatever I do was evolution's 'goal.'

          I appreciate that dr Manhattan said it an it is a dr in a comic book an excellent comic book. I am looking more for statement from real meatsacks who exist. Not that this isnt totally awesome. Because it is.

          Weird how it was written by a human person, and the fact they did so as part of a comic doesn’t make it less true Like, do you need a meatperson to come up to you in person and say “things don’t end on a meaningful human scale” for you to think about it long enough to agree?
