I think we might be talking about different things but I’d love to understand what your meaning is. Care to elaborate a bit?

Humans have not yet mastered complexity but we’re getting there. We mostly fiddle with complication.
I define it as such:
A pocket watch is complicated. It has many moving parts that interact to produce something appearing as life. It can be taken apart, studied, labeled, and put back together.
A bird is complex. You can take it apart, but something fundamental breaks when you do that and it’s not so easy to put back together.

Imagine x and y as a collapsed representation of 3-dimensional space.
Now imagine the time axis as a series of snapshots.
You eat a blueberry. The blueberry’s matter is dis-integrated from its familiar shape and re-integrated into yours.
Some time later you expire. The matter that makes up you is dispersed in some fashion (you are cremated, decompose, maybe are eaten, etc). Your familiar shape falls prey to entropy, just as the blueberry did.
Imagine this happening to everything everywhere.
We are all collections of strands woven together into the fabric of spacetime.
We are one.

Probably radiation interacting with organic matter causing mutations to occur.
Complexity is not easy for humans to grasp. We look at most things through the lens of complication, rather than complexity and it confuses us.

Thank you for the clarification. I think we still disagree at a fundamental level but I have no issue with politely disagreeing on how the universe works. I don’t think we will convince one another, so we’ll just leave it at “different strokes for different folks”.

Blinding oneself in order to ease discomfort ends up becoming a disability, not a strength.
Embrace discomfort and the many shades and colors that make up this thing we call “existence”.
