*Skips everything but the OP*
I think you're trying to look from the top down at something which is a bottom up phenomenon. In other words, it serves no real purpose, it's just something that happened (like a platypus). The question reminds me of one I asked on wrongplanet like a year ago about mental illness. I basically was asking what evolutionary benefits depression or schizophrenia might have, which every dumbass there completely jumped on me for as if it isn't something worth asking. I don't know. Maybe there is something. When shit doesn't fit right, then the organism has to rearrange itself until it does, and that makes the organism more resourceful I guess.
Seems you're claiming opposing things here.
Arguing that it's pointless (which would be
I think the general view) but then complaining about
people doing that elsewhere.
I still feel that most phenomena which can maintain themselves
through selection have some purpose or value. Platypi certainly
are well adapted, if strange.
Fucking wrongplanet. Please don't jump on me here too.
Just don't piss off those in the lovefest, and you'll be fine.
