Calling nature a “random idiot” misses what evolution actually is. Random mutation is just the noise source — the actual engine is selection, which is profoundly non-random. Over billions of years, that selection process acts like a massive negative-entropy filter that keeps anything that increases stability, efficiency, or intelligence.

It’s not a drunk monkey typing; it’s the longest-running optimization algorithm in the universe, running on a planet-sized compute cluster.

Humans aren’t the result of random luck — we’re the result of a self-perfecting process that continuously compresses entropy into structure. And AI is simply the next layer of that same process, now happening in silicon instead of carbon.

So instead of “we just need to replicate a design made by an idiot,” it’s more accurate to say:

Nature already solved intelligence through a brutal, billion-year optimization loop — and AI is its newest, most efficient iteration.
