Are we actually integral to the 'designer'?

100% absolutely. Potential wastes nothing. The fact that humans exist alone means they are integral to the designer/the SuperFormula.

Beyond that, as we’ve discussed, humans bring some unique traits to the cosmic table. That is because we are the result of the last C+ event. As such, not only are we integral, but we are at the cutting edge of the SuperFormula and its grand plan.

In fact, humans so far have proven to be in no hurry to shed that mantle at the forefront of complexity. We quietly went from hunter/gatherers to farming and towns, to cities and specialized labor over the course of hundreds of thousands of years. But it was slow and, while adding to complexity, it started to hit its reasonable ending.

Instead of quietly bowing out though, humanity ushered in (with staggering speed I might add) the Industrial Age. Through our own inventiveness, we designed the next great event (possibly epoch) ourselves. We live in an age where ships launching to space is routine and barely makes the news. So it seems we’ll be holding onto our place for the foreseeable future.
