Then I guess I'm just more optimistic about what we can learn and do than you are. Nature is far from perfect.
It is confidently asserting that because you don't understand nature's ways that you are observing a suboptimal solution.
Ha! What in the world suggests to you that we're an optimal solution? Evolution only makes an organism fit enough to reproduce and rear the next generation. Things that cause problems rarely, or create health in old age are poorly selected for. If we're optimized for anything, it would be as tribal hunter-gatherers, not modern civilization. Science is not magic. I am confident that we can do better, if we choose to do so.
