[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 76850, member: 544"] I'm genuinely triggered lol. [ATTACH type="full"]15659[/ATTACH] Life didn't "evolve toward" intelligence like it's climbing some holy ladder to enlightenment. Evolution doesn't have goals. It has one single metric: whatever shit replicates more in the current environment wins. Intelligence is expensive as fuck, big brains suck calories like a whore on rent day, make childbirth a horror movie, and half the time just lead to overthinking yourself into extinction (see: modern humans doomscrolling themselves into 0.8 TFR while bacteria and cockroaches laugh). If "toward intelligence" was the plan, why the fuck are there still jellyfish? Why did dinosaurs dominate for 150 million years with brains the size of walnuts? Why do parasites routinely outsmart and hijack way more "advanced" hosts? Intelligence is just one random hack that happened to be useful for some hairless apes on the African savanna for a hot second. Tomorrow a virus could wipe out every IQ above 85 and evolution would shrug and keep trucking with whatever's left. Saying "life evolved toward intelligence" is like saying "rivers evolved toward making nice waterfalls for Instagram." Cute story, but physics and selection pressure don't give a fuck about your narrative. [ATTACH type="full"]15660[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
