      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.'

      Right, the TERF shit about how trans people "defy biology" There's nothing to defy Everything we human beings do IS biology, there's no meaningful philosophical distinction

      Speaking as a professional molecular biologist, IMHO "What did nature intend" is a really weird way to live your life. Nature didn't intend anything! YOU get to decide! Which is kind of scary but also kind of liberating!

      But that doesnt seem right because something in nature had to push to join the amino acids to make a chain then a protein then and then and then and then and then...complex creatures with common ancestry for nature to even have a "throw at the wall and see if it sticks"...

      Evolution doesn't "push" Evolution isn't a "force" Evolution should not be reified (fancy pants Latin for "evolution is not a thing")

      What you're describing is creationism, just with handwavy magic instead of God It's just as false either way though

          "Evolution" is just a name for the tautology that *if* you're in a situation where a lot of random things are constantly happening, and certain things happen in a way that make it more likely for those things to repeat, then those are the things you will see continuing to happen

          There's no pushing involved, but there is something like ratchets that bias the random process in a certain direction

          Please dont do that. I'm honest enough with myself to freely admit that I dont know and neither do you. I am not however going to discount any view because of how uncomfortable it makes me. I'm simply raising question from your points in the desire to learn.

          Anyone who understands the causal detail of how evolution works *does* know there is no goal. For evolution to evolve *to* something would require time travel.
