I understand the point about evolution being random and lacking a desired outcome, but I see both evolution and innovation as processes that ultimately favor efficiency. While innovation is intentional, aimed at solving specific problems, evolution rewards organisms and systems that conserve energy and resources, even without conscious direction. Over time, more efficient adaptations outcompete less efficient ones, creating a natural trend toward greater complexity and conservation of energy.

In this way, both evolution and innovation, despite the differences, drive toward the same goal: increasing efficiency.
