We are not living in ‘turbulent times’. We are living in an age of permanent uncertainty. Strategies become obsolete faster than they can be implemented. Plans fall apart due to dynamics that no one had on their radar. The crucial question is therefore not how we can restore stability and control, but how we can remain capable of acting in the face of uncertainty.

This is precisely where evolution becomes relevant. Not as natural history, but as a conceptual model for a world in which cause and effect rarely follow a linear path. Evolution does not promise a perfect plan. But it shows the conditions under which adaptability and further development become possible. And why diversity, trial and error, or ‘good enough’ often achieve more than flawless master plans and melodious optimisation mantras.
