Cancer is one such example

abortion kink made it possible

Despite you and I being in the same group, we are individually different and competing with each other, are we not?

@Nerthulas

what does "selfishly" even mean?

is cancer not a group?

ok, go on

lmao

there was that one cancer that survived his host

Yes selfishly is just semantics poor choice of words on my part attempting to simplify things

u compete with sibblings too and yet not too too

It's that you and I share enough in common with each other that working with each confers a fitness gain. But we still have lots of variance and are competing with each other.

maybe the question is senseless

Right now, we are being selected for k selection within the population. As the group, we are being selected for ethnocentrism.

It is such a beautiful theory.

in general is our modus operandi mutual benefit

You could argue with close kin you’re better off working together even if your kin has 4 children and you have 1, that’s actually better for your genes as a whole than if you had say 2-3 kids

And the other had 0

Group selection is super vast

Culture, ethnicity, ideologue, and etc. are group selected for.

The value of the his group approach falls off exponentially as genetic distance and group size increases

Soldiers, termites, and otters all use a different type of group selection.

in the end, there's not exactly one mechanism, but only a theoretical construct and a probability

99.999% of termites DO NOT mate themselves. But they all protect the queen and replicate through her. Millions of ants protecting one queen.

and that might be, why objects and mechanism are the domain of rope theorists

And you get massive fitness pay offs for it. One ant on its own is worthless. But they are super complex as a super organism and are tuned to be optimized.

@TuerSchlossEnteiser i am going to be honest, the rope theory of light seems to be cope to me

and?

ants are literally the opposite of a good group selection example

nope

pros use bees

Nah, pros would actually use termites.

I just forgot. But I did mention it earlier. but they all make the same point.

@Nerthulas did you see all I wrote? Did we get anywhere?

no

no

no

ur a sperg and group selection has no value

Spergor

I am not a sperg. Unironically, I can't wait until all the shit posters and spergs get finished selected against.

finished selected?
