“Survival of the Fittest”
suggests a level of knowledge in advance. This is hindsight bias. Normally there
is a base level of fitness, and then it is just those who have the specific
survival skill required for the randomly selected sorting event. The world is
complex, ambiguous, and random. We can work on our base fitness. We can be
prepared for a variety of sorting events. If something happens that 95% wipes you
out, you want to be in a position to rebuild from that 5%. “The Red Queen” principle
in Biology is that evolution is more about running just to stay in the same
place, “organisms must constantly adapt, evolve, and proliferate in order to
survive while pitted against ever-evolving opposing organisms in a constantly
changing environment.”
