So this is already a second layer that doesn't function like that random mutation layer.
So evolution should be expected to find all of the cheat codes and to build them in because any creature that has access to all of these different ways of adapting more rapidly or more effectively will outcompete the creatures that have fewer of these things. So you should expect, what I often say is we have to remember we are not looking at

Darwinism 1.0 you're looking at Darwinism 10.0 you're looking at a highly sophisticated evolutionary structure that is the result of all of the discoveries of the prior structures and that includes some things that modern creatures can do but it also includes an evolution of enhanced evolutionary capacity including things like culture mmm

It's an accelerator because that's how you compete. Oh. The faster you adapt. And so this is one of the other things that I think needs to be corrected about Darwinism. We have a very crude, a primitive understanding of what fitness means. We know that it's important, that it's sort of the core thing that selection is trying to accomplish, enhanced fitness.

But we pretend that that means the same thing as reproduction. Often it's very tightly correlated to reproduction. But if you think it's the same, you just miss out on all of the places where reproduction is not the key to lasting a long time into the future, which is really the trick that selection is targeted at.

Selection is always trying to get a creature to lodge its genomic spellings as far into the future as it can land them. So that means one way to do that is often to produce more offspring. That's a good way to increase the likelihood that your genome makes it into the future. That's of limited value.

Let's say that you're in a population that is in jeopardy, but you as an individual are highly successful. So maybe you have 10 offspring, right? You beat the expectation by five times. But then your population goes extinct 100 years after you're gone. right?

Your fitness could be high based on how many offspring you produced, or it could be zero based on the ultimate outcome of what happened to all of your descendants.
