In any case, what I wrote doesn’t make sense, because I could not coherently specify which alternate reality I would be speaking of. (E.g., one in which humans didn’t have technology? Why not?)
But sure, permitting the anthropomorphism, mechanisms have ‘plans’. Evolution evolves things according to certain rules, and the results have patterns. These patterns are ‘plans’ built into the mechanism.
But if you meant to emphasize that evolution doesn’t have plans in the sense of an end result it is trying to achieve through us in particular, there’s no argument from me.
There are no authoritative plans for what Homo Sapiens “should be” in thousands of years!
