Life started on this planet as single cell organisms. At some point they connected, unified and evolved. Adaptation created diversity. Over time, consolidation would favor the stronger adapters.
Corporations are people (per the U.S. Supreme Court). People are single cell organisms. We connect, unify and emerge as corporate bodies.
Corporations are the next step in the evolution of life. Evolution favors the organism best able to adapt to and shape their environment. Corporations seem to out perform humans in this way. W are the latest version of the amoeba.
Here’s the cool thing. We consciously form corporations. We decide their values. We choose their intended impact. We get to intelligently design the next generation of evolution.
Evolution has evolved.
