Evolution, Fitness, and Mental Models

Two good posts on evolution and fitness. 

Key insight for thinking about strategy in the second one: 

As Jacob Scott pointed out, everybody — theorist or experimentalist — “has a logical construct (a model) in his or her head” when studying anything. This model might be mathematically explicit or implicit in the mind, but it is there and if the world is mechanistic (or if we only want to consider mechanistic theories of the world) then so is the model. One of the goals of philosophy (as well as theoretical parts of science) is to study these implicit (or explicit) models and understand if they have any fundamental limitations or introduce biases that might be independent of the empirical world that we hope they represent.

We be shifting peaks across adaptive valleys and shit, Hardy-Weinberg? Our OTP is a hit. Darwin’s Reckoning, Wallace in the passenger seat, Now watch us as we become most fit.

Me Just made up this little ditty. At the end of the semester, we’ll be playing the Evolutionary Games (think Hunger games but for points on our final exam). Angela and I are partners, and we’ve decided to be Team Darwin’s Reckoning.

Stay tuned. We’re gonna have the sickest t-shirts.
