Butterflies? Easier to catch a caterpillar and set it on the right path to one day flap its wings in just the desired way.

Caterpillar? Too high tech. I just restart the universe until the problem is pre-solved.
Let me sell you an AI that genetically engineers caterpillars to do just that.
But can it also provide instructions to set the universal constants at the start so the universe evolves the desired result?
I just asked it and it said yes.
Let there be light!
