Re: Better Analogy
Now, the problem with this analogy is that it's not something people are familiar with in their day to day life.
​
Another problem is there's nothing analogous to natural selection in this analogy. It only really touches on mutations and increasing diversity.
​
We have many intuitions in our life and the point is that many of these intuitions are wrong. The question is, are we going to test those intuitions?
