      But we are the material manifestation of the evolutionary process in modern time… one small slice of it, at least.

      Our minds simulate everything. We simulate our body schema, our selves, others (theory of mind), the external world.

      We evolved to do that, from a prior state of not doing that.

      Hence, evolution as a process has increased the information entropy of a system (us). We are a system that naturally undergoes evolution.

      How could it be that we are not proof of exactly what you say should be impossible? The human mind isn’t a constant natural given in this universe. It came to be from simpler, historic forms of mind.
