I'm referring to how genes modulate development according to their set of instructions. The way that these genetic instructions are set to be executed can be considered their intention. I'm being liberal in my use of the word "intention" here, but I don't think your absurdist take on my wording was in good faith, so to speak, or constructive.

The state of the universe (including biological facts) has no intentions, i don't know what you are trying to say here or what else you would mean when you say "Intention". It sounds like the sayings of someone who believes in an higher order of things.

    Like, you started this subthread contesting neallindsay's (and mine) understanding[1] of "Intention", so this is on you. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44714148 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44714148
