Evolution is content with a very long iteration cycle and a very high failure rate.

Human engineering is much more efficient - building things we understand, we accomplish in decades what takes nature millions of years or is straight up not viable.

I sometimes think about evolution and its relation to human engineering, and I don’t know if it is a useful thought but, evolution created humans, and therefore, human creation is also in fact a product of evolution in nature itself.

In that way, evolution evolved itself by creating humans, and through us evolution is now happening at an accelerated rate in some aspects.

I try not to get all philosophical, because I know that other people, who are actual philosophers, have thought about these things already and I can’t compete with them but I can’t help but think about such things anyway.
