    If you're about to leave a comment saying that faster creatures aren't actually less efficient, read this first. I presented that part a bit strangely.
    At 2:14, I say moving quickly is less efficient, giving the example of a creature moving a unit distance in half the time, using twice the energy. Then, at 4:53, I show a formula for the energy cost per unit time, which depends on the square of the creature's speed.
    I gave distance per time, energy per time, and distance per energy at separate parts of the video, and that was confusing.
    So here's a more explicit summary.
    If we double a creature's speed...
    - its distance per time is doubled (the definition of speed)
    - its energy per time is quadrupled (because it depends on the square of speed)
    - its distance per energy is halved: (2x distance per time) / (4x energy per unit time)
    That last bullet is the "efficiency" from the video. With its starting energy for a day, a 2x-speed creature can only travel half the distance.

      Hmmm I doubt that the energy/time should be the square of speed. That seems to me to be too high. I bet irl it's closer to being some function which uses the natural logarithmic function.

      Those who drop out of school don't drop out because they don't have the intellectual capacity, it's because they don't have the patience to deal with the bullshit schools keep putting them through. In reverse, it also means that those who have managed to graduate aren't smart by default. Some really dumb people graduate because they spend their entire lives studying, staying on top of projects and homeworks.

    • @greatbriton8425
      @greatbriton8425 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Natural selection, while essential for evolution, is not exclusively a part of the theory of evolution. It is the cutting out of members of a population who are less suited to the current ecological conditions. It does not indicate how the better suited members arrived. Take for example the pepper moth. When Britain had a cold climate and there was a lot of snow, the white moths survived better. But when the climate warmed again, the darker moths survived better. Both sets of genes were always present within the pepper month's genome. It was the crossing over of the chromosomes which allowed variant expression of those genes, not mutations adding genes. And the crossing over of chromosomes is an incredibly complicated and sophisticated mechanism, very compatible with creation.

      Ones which are more responsive to change are just more likely to survive. Inefficient species can still survive in their environment. It depends on the availability of resources, and these kinds of games/simulations can cause by design very specific situations which aren't as dynamic as a real environment. It's more like "over a given period of time, a population which 'fits best' is more likely to reproduce". Likely. Not "does"... The ideas of strong, fast, and fit (especially fitness as one-directional) play into the sort of Creationist dialogue that what we see is "perfect". No, what we see works. What often changes the game, on the other hand, is when species become proficient at thriving and over-consumption without significantly depleting their available resources.

      It isn't just Capitalism and Communism.
      There's a complete gradient scale, and not all capitalistic or communistic societies are created equal. Also I think the capitalism comment was a joke, while the humanity comment was the actual answer.
      Have you seen humanity?
      Do you know how much further we'd be if we put our funding and knowledge towards science rather than putting it towards war? We're all the same species, all more or less the same, living on Earth.
      Yet we've drawn fake lines in the sand and we've decided we want more and more and more, so we kill ourselves to take it from ourselves. While simultaneously destroying the Earth, the very thing which gives us Life. We destroy forests, create cheap yet non biodegradable materials which leach into our water, food, and us. And we hunt other animals into extinction for the thrill or money. We could've been so much more, but our greed and prejudice ruined it. At this point it's hopeless, we've divided ourselves so much that we're not even divided by place of birth anymore, we're divided by literally every possible thing. May it be skin color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, I could go on for hours.
      We are the press of a button away from nuclear armageddon, when instead we could've been a multi planetary species with no world hunger, educated populace, and little to no illness. But instead we put our resources into killing eachother, killing ourselves. We could have been so much more.

    One crazy thing about natural selection is that it doesn't work towards perfection, it works towards, well, what works! In an AP Biology class you'll hear the question "why do that, when it could do this, this being more efficient" and the answer is that although you are correct in how it would be more efficient, it didn't happen and what we have now is just what worked when it was needed, and therefore was passed to future generations. Truly a fascinating phenomenon within natural selection and evolution!

      It actually only has an illusion of "working towards" when that is not the case at all. It's just the name of a large collection of processes that aren't even related to evolution or even living things, they only happen to affect them. We can't actually define when it succeeds or fails because of this. It can cause species to go extinct or to become worse at survival just as much as it makes them more fit and both are equally valid results of "what works". Only with a selfish perspective do things like survival become akin to succeeding. Which is a flawed way of looking at things.
