Are we doing what is the best? Functionalism doesn't work and has been abandoned anyways, It can't find a basic function that could be defined as much as they try to reduce every structure.

It seems to me that we (living entities) do what is the easiest possible according the constraints we have regardless the level of awareness we have.

Unified regime of the organism that can decide what is good or bad for itself... This is an interesting claim, can you give an example?

The best for me is not necessary the best for you. On top of this, 'goal(s)' change with life because life is uncertain has the habit of changing from time to time without prior notice.

As long as we keep in mind that any moment any one of us could be thinking of possible futures.

I don't really consider Pinker to be a serious thinker. More like a pop-sci author

Humanity has dominion over the Earth and our Earth resources. Which means all species posses the same wealth. However the labor from one man to another man is not owned by anyone. Corporation pay citizens to work for them using fiat currency. The only debt which exists is the debt from on man or men to another man or men. 8 billion citizens working requires a fiat currency to pay the worldwide labor force for their labor. If 4 billion citizens work for one month. How much is the payroll which needs to be paid? How much money does the federal reserve need to print up to pay everyone who works worldwide for one month? 4 billion citizens working for on month need to be paid. That's is a massive amount of money. When you do the math. Just saying.

The value of money is labor. The creation of money is created by the labor of the people. The greater our labor force the greater the amount of money can be printed up. With a population of 8 billion citizens and a workforce of over 4 billion citizens and automated Artificial Intelligent robots working for Humanity. The greater amount of money which can be printed up. There is no debt. The only debt which exists is the labor from one man to another man or men and women. Labor is wealth. Natural Resources is wealth. Fresh water is wealth. Humanity all together posseses the same wealth. As humanity has dominion over the earth and over all its natural resources. Humanity owns everything. Humanity does not own the labor from one man to another man. What is the monthly payroll of over 4 billion citizens working worldwide? The federal reserve prints up that money to pay the worldwide labor force. The Corporations pays every citizen working for them receiving the money from the Federal Reserve . Our living planet is wealth. Fiat Money is not wealth. Fiat Money is the tools humanity uses to buy products to sustain ourselves. Natural resources and the labor of humanity is true wealth. Money is worthless without labor and natural resources. Corporation only make money by the federal reserve printing it up and passing the money to the corporations to pay the citizens who work for the corporations. Too be continued.

What if the way it works can be represented by how a game go is being played and won. Each individual stone placement does not produce a result, but the victory and accumulation of points happens (or emerges) gradually based on positions of own's stone placements and of the opponent. You could consider each particular successful surrounding of an enemy group as a "complete thought" or decision since, and the opponent's placements as the stimuli to which player (brain) responds to. What I am trying to say by that illustration is that there could likely be no state of the brain that is inherently meaningful, and that could connect to your prediction of the next choice, since there isn't a precise rule or law to it, only situational pattern recognition.
