It makes some things about evolution quite obvious. I have casually wondered, as many people probably, "why do I have to bear such an idiot?" Well, something that will remain a revelation to me is the actual answer to that question, given by genetics and Darwin :) Because evolution would not work without a "failure rate". People who get a Darwin award by removing theyre genes from the gene pool are actually causing damage to the gene pool, because aside whatever makes them idiots, they "contain" information about unexplored paths of evolution. And at some point, the handsome-clever Mr. Perfect, could turn out to be an error of evolution, and could just be "cancelled". In these occurences, Mr. Bean himself could contain what Mr. Perfect lacked to be "the fittest" or rather, give birth to the next fittest individual. So? Evolution needs defects, imperfections, different beauties, taller, shorter, fatter, uglier, thinner, brown, blue, orange, green people, evolution needs difference, it loathes "perfect" dead-ends like Mr. Perfect. I've learnt to really, really cherrish difference a whole lot more through this project. Thought I would share. Loading...
