You’re splitting hairs, and being obtuse.
Either that, or you genuinely cannot understand how being able to solve problems could be a survival characteristic.
“Either that, or you genuinely cannot understand how being able to solve problems could be a survival characteristic.”
I am pointing out the shallowness, or unsophisticated nature of your arguments and understandings of evolution. Nothing personal.
Being able to solve problems is a great survival “characteristic”, but you are mistaking it with adaptability.
Solving a problem is a behavior. It is selected for based on environment. In a different environment the ability to solve a problem as done in the other environment may lead to death.
Moth to the flame is an excellent example.
In an evolutionary worldview what we call reason is no more than a more complex form of chemo-taxis. An instinctual stimuli-response that has been selected for.
Concepts such as reason and free will are superfluous at best.
