Nature doesn't care who gets selected for survival. Evolution has no goal. Another way to describe natural selection is as a process of elimination. Certain individuals survive because they have structural, physiological, behavioral or other characteristics that prevent them..
..from being eliminated. Those that don't have these characteristics are eliminated. Adapting to changes increases the chance that individual will survive, reproduce, and pass along its characteristics to the next gen. Greater resistance to disease, run faster, or learn to Sh$$t
When organisms undergo selection, some characteristic may be carried along that wasn't selected. Even if some trait didn't provide an advantage it could still be carried along as long as it isn't harmful, i.e., doesn't negatively influence survival and reproduction...
But a situation may arise in the future when that trait can become useful or harmful, must be shed as fast as possible if later case i.e. Vasudaiv Kutumbakam, Land of Budha, peace, honey, Gandhi
Characteristics successful in one environment may be unsuccessful in another. This is well expressed by late American paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould in WonderfUL Life: "Even if fishes hone their adaptations to peaks of aquatic perfection, they will all die if the ponds dry up."
Look around, most nature beliefs are dead. World is increasingly moving towards monotheistic belief systems, we are the only last major roadblock & vultures of both variety are circling..Lest we pick up the traits of mad Elephant -crushing things that stand in our way..extinction
John Locke said: "Good and evil, reward and punishment, are the only motives to a rational creature: these are the spur and reins whereby all mankind are set on work, and guided."
We are driven by our need to avoid pain (and punishment) and a desire to gain pleasure (and reward).
We are driven by our need to avoid pain (and punishment) and a desire to gain pleasure (and reward).
Our aversion to pain also encourages a certain human behavior: to take most rewarding view of events. We interpret choices/events in ways that make us feel better. We often prefer to hear supporting reasons for our beliefs; think of ourselves as more talented than others..
More we are exposed to certain experiences, the more the specific connections are strengthened, and the better we learn and remember those experiences. We then use these stored representations ofwhat works when we respond to people and situations. Essentially what we do today..
is a function of what worked in the past. We adapt by learning from the consequences of our actions. We do pattern recognition. Even though we are capable of logic, our brain does not operate by the principles of logic. It operates by selection of pattern recognition...
It's a dynamic network. It's not an "if-then" logic machine. Are we recognising the patterns of what is happening in India and wide world? we are inherently alone, surrounded by hostile populations following Abrahamic Memes save for Nepal, Bhutan & Burma. We are alone
Adapt fast, build strength, keep laser like focus on growing economy, not jump into fights of others, Make these Memes (Abraham's children) fight each other.. Gain strength for a storm is coming.
