It seems that all living things we see kicking about now either have a clear objective to be alive and avoidance of death. I am aware that natural selection would very quickly eradicate any species or trait or organ or whatever that either didn’t try at all to meet its needs required to live or actively went towards death. I don’t mean creatures or organisms that have kill switches or suicidal reproduction, I mean seemingly pointless to a creature that does not have a biological drive to render it and it’s entire species dead. Does there exist any traces of these theorized processes or creatures that seem to provide no benefit whatsoever other than death? submitted by /u/Cwjo [link] [comments]
