Biology is fork only.

You find out what's good by what didn't die.

Some must die for selection to occur to propel the collective forward.

If individuals weren't exposed to death then the collective couldn't learn who could survive it.

This is the cold, amoral emergent logic of evolution.

Biology cares about species but not about individuals.

Society cares about venture but not about individual startups.

Thanks to my friend Steve for these insights!
