you realize that everything in nature evolving - and not just life forms evolve - happens not to fulfill a purpose but it always has one once it evolved. So even there is no intention, it is in the end like there would have been one in the first place. In this sense I'm using "will deal with it", because the outcome always fulfills a purpose.Given that "purpose" in a whole is an "invention" of our intelligent view on the matter - we can give it a reason and that is why it might be purposeful - nature might not have a notion of purpose at all.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

There is no "purpose" in aftermath of overheating the Earth by humans exactly as there is not purpose in the fact that wood burns so a lot of animals die in a forest fire when it happens.
I may be oversensitive to such type of narration after I heard some German lunatic government official from green party claiming that Covid19 was PURPOSELY produced by nature to reduce human population.
And when I sense sectarian vibe in people who are supposed to rule us, red alerts in my head start blinking.

I'm perfectly fine with nature dealing with it. We are part of nature anyway, and as the vast majority of humans couldn't care less, most of them (if any) won't be missed.

we will be in the vast majority of species not having made it - actually the only top survivor on earth is a living concept - biofilm - a multi-species multi-cellularly operating colony of bacteria - there for at least 3.4 billion years. in 1994 Bonnie Bassler and her group found out how those single cell bacteria switch from their single cell state to become part of the multi-cellular and multi-species biofilm, where their behavior is changing from single cell operation to group behavior. About 70% of all bacteria live in biofilms, which protects them about 1000x times better. A biofilm cluster merging with another one has even a form a recombination, exchanging information not held in DNA, but in plasmids, which are distributed throughout the biofilm by bacterial conjugation. biofilms can as well use death as a way to real time adaptation - if most die by a threat, but not all, the rest can be multiplied back to full strength and now it is a biofilm mostly immune to the threat - no other life form has this - this is the top survivor on earth - a living concept basically.

Yeah, but what do they do? ;)

Well,didn't I say that i think that nature has no notion of purpose and that to reason about it and giving it a purpose is a human "invention"?

Basically Borg.
Nothing for humans, really.
We like the feeling of getting "connected", but only temporary.

It would be a nightmare for humans to be a part of collective mind constantly.
Worse then death.

letting their information evolve and keeping it going - that is all what it is about in the end. It is survival of the fittest information - if it doesn't survive it doesn't matter how sophisticated it had been - it's gone then.

There are some posters in here who would have them on pizza. That should bring about the collapse of their civilization.

Yeah, but borg without a borg queen - it is more like the other super-organisms on earth, like termites, ants, bees. Those biofilm clusters moving around are actually like borg, they assimilate any bacteria getting to near to them and incorporate their information into the cluster by bacterial conjugation.
