Sgt. Doofus informs us that there is no such thing as a fitness function in nature:
| Quote (DaveTard June 11 @ 2006) | | This is all so incredibly naive. All these programs have fitness functions which is explicitely a direction given by an intelligent agent. Nature has no fitness function. Nature, or rather Darwin’s version of nature, doesn’t give a flying flop if anything is alive or not. In fact any student of nature knows that the rule is utter sterility. Everywhere we look other than the thin skin of the planet earth is a completely sterile environment and nature is as happy as a clam with nothing alive. So get rid of all fitness evaluations in these so-called simulations of evolution and see what happens. |
This is the same DaveTard who has said many times elsewhere that natural selection maintains the status quo by weeding out mutants.
It's a good thing Dave is stupid, or the cognitive dissonance would have exploded his head long ago.
