More explicitly, then, "evolutionary" implies some grasp of a direction toward which things evolve. Otherwise, it's just so many chemical reactions.
Evolution does not imply direction at all. Only change under selection pressure. There is no direction things are moving towards.
Hopefully the op goes sideways.

Capitalism is a scam against the working class. I dont know how people can read things like this and not want a huge reform. The OP "just following orders" is ridiculous. Also, whenever the question "where are the tech unions at," comes up ,its because the system crushes anyone who is slightly left leaning in this regard. Excerpt: You’d be one of the best people they’ve seen in years, and unlike the people around the…
Huh, I'm looking around at my large house, wonderful life I've provided for my family, nice car, fun job, sure doesn't seem like a scam.
I've noticed that people who have failed a lot or things aren't going well like to blame external factors, and often reach for simpler ones.

get born in the south side chicago and see how that works out for you to have a nice car and a fun job :) the main reason you have them is zipcode where you were born

My father was born in mexico, came here with his parents who worked in agriculture. He worked his ass off to make it to a comfortable, modest, middle class neighborhood. I didn't go to college, but found my way into the tech industry because it's about as close to meritocratic as anywhere else has been in human history. Is it perfect? no.

In some scenarios capitalism can work really, really well. but lose a job, have a health issue and you then see that it is just a house of cards that generally works for small fraction of the population. not that other systems don’t have their own issues (and more) but capitalism is always good in the eyes of the beholder and over time there are less and less happy stories (USA is perfect example, see graphs of income inequality/gaps over time…)
One can only imagine what kind of HN account flags a comment like this one I hope the OP makes it through his surgery Perhaps then he can find the time to apologise to those who he believes might deserve an apology
