I guess I don’t think I see how that contradicts the initial post, but maybe that’s just because I’m reading the post as saying the same thing as “leave enough hydrogen alone for long enough and eventually it starts thinking”
Gotcha gotcha. In other words: us being monkeys generating random output is an unfalsifiable hypothesis, so saying “it’s true” is unscientific. Yes, it could be true if free will didn’t exist, but since that’s not something that can be proven we shouldn’t use it as the basis for how we view reality. Something like that?

In what way, shape, or form have we proven ourselves to be otherwise than agents of chaos?
I organized my manga collection alphabetically. Does that count?
Singlehandedly, you have brought us back from the very brink of destruction!
