Sexual reproduction, which increases fitness? So theoretically the offspring are more fit clone producers so competing with them is bad, M’kay?


But who invented fitness? Theoretically a self-sustaining chemical reaction can go on forever, and it is energetically less costly to search ways to sustain it even further rather than rebooting the whole organism from start. The invention of death must have happened before the beginning of evolution. Which reminds me that our quest for immortality is the end of it.
