There are evolutionary processes that are smarter than natural selection through random variation and selection. Learning systems show a more intelligent optimization than natural selection.
Embryos and organisms are plastic and flexible from the start, figuring things out from scratch each time. This gives them the intelligence to handle novel situations.
Evolution can explore an “intelligent space” of solutions through a non-human level but non-zero intelligence process. It exploits mathematical and physical principles.
Values and goals play an important role in evolutionary and learning processes. Simple maximization is not sufficient to explain complex organism behaviors.
There is a duality between exerting control over the world and being sensitive to information from the world. Organisms need both to act and observe.
Asymmetry between brain hemispheres could enable a more continuous flow between taking in information and taking action.
Simplistic value systems focused only on maximizing “the best” lead to problems. More nuanced, multi-dimensional values are needed.
Values shape what we attend to and experience from the very start, not just as an “add-on” at the end.
Scientific objectivity does not acknowledge that values are needed to pick what to study and measure.
Explaining organisms only through maximizing survival and reproduction fails to account for their complex beauty.
