@off_grid_living I _think_ the key takeaway here is that whilst "Evolutionary Processes" can be explained, modelled and simulated, nothing in science can explain how it all started in the first place. Well nothing except Engineering of course.

For example, if I sit down and replicate this guy's work and improve upon it, who created the first generation and the simulated world in which these "things" live in?

That's right. @prologic did (otherwise known as the creator πŸ˜…)

The thing I love about this guy's work, his explanation and teaching is how he spells out the recipe and attirbutes you need:

- Replication
- Blueprint
- Inheritance
- Mutation
- Selection

@off_grid_living found the video I wanted to share with you again finally ☝️ It's essentially the best video (and open source software) I've ever found on simulating evolution and natural selection.

Interestingly Yarn pods used to have a built-in "full blogging" feature that used to take advantage of very similar mechanisms. It would let you write a full blog post, with URI(s) like /blogs/<username>/<yyyy>/<mm>/<dd>.html (rendered from Markdown) and would automatically "announce" the blog post as a Twt itself. That Twt would become the "Root Hash" of all "comments" on _that_ blog post.

We removed the feature as the community at the time "felt" it was out-of-scope and had a bunch of other missing features you'd typically find in a full-blogging engine.

Meanwhile in Australia we're still struggling with the ongoing battle with NBN Co that the multiple "screw ups" between Labor and Liberal governments that have resulted in most of the country still on effectively "slightly" better ADSL (vDSL2+). Here for example I still have to put up with the unreliability of ~600m of Copper with a vDSL service and all the constant drop-outs that comes with. Not to mention it's a measly ~60Mbps Downstream and ~30Mbps upstream (if I'm lucky). NBN is a joke.~

If you have the strength to reject streaming, you can proudly say this How about this slogan:

> Any song I listen to,
> I can share a copy too.

If someone chides you by saying that sharing is illegal, you can respond with:

> "The music companies bought the law, but they can't make sharing wrong."

What sharing slogans can you think of?
