    Yeah I find that people tend to believe that evolution is trending to a perfect solution. When all it is a jumble of local maximums and chance.

      I grew up believing the same until somewhere in high school, when I started taking science seriously.

      … a jumble of local maximums and chance.

      I really like how you phrased this. I’m totally stealing it.

        You’re more than welcome to but you will then have to explain what a local maximum is. Which can be weirdly harder than you think.
