The Joe Rogan Experience
#2269 - Bret Weinstein

Selection produces all of that structure in the prebiotic universe. It becomes adaptive in the biological sense when you add to selection heredity. Right? When the patterns in the universe become capable of biasing the universe into producing more of themselves. Right? Red dwarf stars do not bias the universe into producing more red dwarf stars. There's no heredity there.

So there's a number of red dwarf stars that is the result of selection, but it is not the result of any hereditary process. The thing that's different about us critters is that heredity allows the adaptations to stack on top of each other so that they increasingly bias the universe into producing more of whatever they are, right? A bat is biasing the universe into producing more bats.

So there is no reason at all to think that New game that happens when heredity gets attached to selection is limited to Earth in any way. Now, it could be that it is so difficult for it to happen that it just hasn't gotten around to it anywhere else.

Well, it could or it could mean that these components assemble themselves more commonly than we would guess. If I had to guess, I would say it's very likely that there's a lot of life in the universe. I don't think there's anything so special about the Earth that it would be the lone example or even a very rare example. You know, there aren't a lot of Earth-like planets nearby.

But there are bound to be a lot of Earth-like planets in a universe as big as this one is. One of the things about the universe is that it absolutely defies human comprehension in terms of how big it is. So I would guess there's a lot of life out there. Why we don't hear from it, that's an interesting question.
