The theory of evolution has pretty much zero value in competing globally, the way I see it (although it's good to know). Global competition is a major contributor to climate change.
- ktizo 14y agoThe theory of evolution has pretty much zero value in competing globally, the way I see it This is absurdly myopic. Evolution affects not just all the life-sciences, but also the mathematics of evolution is finding new applications in software and engineering all the time.
- genwin 14y agoI've done genetic algorithms. Yes they employ the concept of evolution but it's something that can be understood in under an hour, purely from a programming perspective. Knowing the theory of evolution isn't required for someone to be skilled at machine learning algorithms. That's not to say schools shouldn't teach the theory of evolution; they should, alongside relativity and other things that can open one's mind but have virtually zero value for competing globally.
