Reading Charles Darwin 'The origin of species'.
He talks about species getting destroyed, as he puts it, routinely. I wonder how many biologists today would be comfortable with that, I wonder how many biologists are comfortable with Darwin's teaching at all.
When Darwin published his book, the world was still created by god. His teachings were controversial to say the least. As they seem to be today, but for different reasons.
Furthermore, Darwin speaks of natural selection (destruction) and sexual selection (mating) as two different things. Where he views sexual selection as less 'rigourus'.
It is a daunting thought, if you die before you can breed, indeed it would be more rigourus. As such sexual characteristics would be outcompeted by characteristics ensuring survival. Beauty is potentially not the most important characteristics in breeding.
I wonder which encrypted and distributed systems are the most likely to survive?
