Evolution by natural selection: Difference between revisions

{{a|Technology|}}Firstly, bad metaphor watch: be careful of using the word “evolve” when you mean “develop”. Evolution is the process of spawning and dying, and leaving it to the obstreperous gods of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water to figure out which, [[if any]], of your progeny should survive. Now, if you’re the COO of an established financial services organisation, we respectfully submit that throwing its infants unchaperoned into the mindless ravenous maw of nature to see how it gets on is ''not'' what you should be aspiring to put your organisation through. Evolving involves ''you'' dying, and the — ah — lion’s share of ''your children'' dying too, for the betterment of some unseen replicating subcomponent of the greater whole.<ref>Though, come to think of it, what — or ''who'' — might ''that'' be?</ref> Dear COO: your job is to ''protect'' your firm from the red claws and teeth of nature, not to ''feed'' them.
