memorization for you, interesting. well the first step is admitting.

unique to evolution though, this habit assumes that everything is beneficial for navigating the environment aside from just reproduction, or the most beneficial compared to unimagined alternatives that died out and simply can't be observed. it ignores other population ending factors despite that line of population having more beneficial traits to today's environment.

the only "evolved because" answer to evolution is "some mutant reproduced", and reality is even more crass than that given how that mutant reproduced a lot

What if the mutation is the result of some crude logic? Like the choice of things to eat is limited by what you can catch or find. You not just randomly happened to prefer eating chickens over eagles. Then when used to eating chickens you run into dodo's and the choice is obvious. Running into dodo's wasn't a random event. We deliberately went looking for something like them.
