“Perfect replication is the enemy of any robust system... Lacking a central nervous system much less a brain the parasite is a simple system designed to compromise a very specific target host. The more uniform the host, the more effective the infestation.” SimplePerfectBrainEnemyNervousCompromiseTargetHostUniformsLackingNervous SystemRobustParasitesCentral Nervous SystemReplication Book:Daemon Source: Daemon
“Sexual reproduction exists solely as a means to defeat parasites. By mixing male and female genes, sex produces offspring not exactly like either the male or female - making each generation different from the last, and presenting a moving target to intruders intent on compromising this system. ... Even with this variation, parasites continue to pose a threat... and parasitism evolves and moves through any system - not just living things. The less variation there is in a system, the more readily parasites will evolve to infest it.” MeanDifferentLastsMovingSexGenerationsProduceFemaleThreatMalesDefeatCompromiseEvolveTargetGenesLiving ThingsVariationPresentingOffspringReproductionMixingParasitesIntruders Book:Daemon Source: Daemon
