#biology [[Darwin]] is the father of **the theory of evolution by natural selection**. Human beings still know very little about the body on the macro level, it is too complex for us for now. So it is wiser to stop being epistemically arrogant and instead look at the knowledge of nature, i.e. evolution, look how our ancestors lived, ate, slept. *In fact, the most interesting aspect of evolution is that it only works because of its [[Philosophy/Rationality/Models/Antifragility]]; it is in love with stressors, randomness, uncertainty, and disorder—while individual organisms are relatively fragile, the gene pool takes advantage of shocks to enhance its fitness.* ~ [[Nassim Taleb]] Evolution is a great guide towards [[Philosophy/Humans/Transhumanism/Transhumanism|health]] as we know very little of it and modern [[Science|science]] is full of errors of [[Mathematic/Causality/Causality]], we can’t trust anything, while evolution can tell us what to do usually. We spend our days in closed, dark, room, sat in front of black pieces of plastic. Did our ancestors do that too? ## Movement to escape problems <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FfyvtBxFmaw" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> mammals evolved a brain for the sake of movement, unlike plants intentionality need prediction # GPT talking about evolution >I think we suffer an illusion about nature. We thought the individuals were pretty much completely adapted for their purpose, and the species for the species… but they’re not. At any moment some tiny fraction of their genome is still evolving within the species, and they keep exchanging genetic material with other species. Organisms aren’t static, they keep evolving.I think most climate scientists nowadays would agree with that at least a little bit. They weren’t saying it actually, but you could read it into it based on what they say; they seem to think of evolution as being more important than humanity in determining the future of the planet.[2]Species adapt too slowly for individual sex to make a lot of evolutionary ~ [[GPT3]]
