I actually thought about not phrasing it that way to avoid that kind of anthropomorphizing, but decided “fuck it,” because evolution, as a process, is (metaphorically speaking) lazy. And of course the process, not guided by any intelligence or intention, is (speaking metaphorically or not) dumb. I’m always amused by creationists talking about how organisms (or parts thereof) “must” be created by an intelligent creator because complexity, when the reality is the opposite - if we viewed the evolutionary process as a “creator,” they’d be a wildly incompetent, dumb, lazy asshole.
