Magical thinking. Nature uses gradient descent to evolve all of us and our companions on this planet. If something better were out there, we would see it at work in the natural world.

Maybe it's there but in a ethereal form that is ungrabbable to mere conscious forms as ourself? :P

Are you also saying that thoughts are formed using gradient descent? I don't think gradient descent is an accurate way to describe either process in nature. Also, we don't know that we "see" everything that is happening, we don't even understand the brain yet.
