What did evolution mean by this?
>>
>>16799091
seems like a viable strategy to self-replicate as demonstrated by nature, hence why viruses exist
>>
>>16799091
viruses are form of life that scientists deny as living lifeform to nu-science
>>
>>16799091
Are viruses... alive to die? I mean, I heard that there are questions about considering them alive. And so if there aren't living creatures how they can die? They can be destroyed, and I don't think they will be destroyed after host's death. However, I don't really know a lot about viruses.

>What did evolution mean by this?
it's alll .. part of the plan
>>
>>16799091
You forgot the "spread copies to other hosts" part. That's the evolutionary advantage to the strategy.
>>
>>16799105
a virus is pretty much a stand of dna or rna bundled up in an envelope
it has no metabolism or way to replicate by itself, so people generally classify them as non-living, but i think it's best to think of them as on the edge of life
>>
>>16799120
just like viruses, no organism is inherently self sufficient, they all depend on their environment
and just like viruses, rain drops are able to replicate themselves by using energy as heat from their own environment to evaporate and condensate, accumulating further heat in the atmosphere
ergo, rain is alive, but humans are not

Stop it with the antisemitism RIGHT NOW

Its goal isn't its own survival. Its goal is propagating and spreading to other organisms. Humans are just selfish these days and lost their instinct to do the same.
>>
>>16799091
doesnt matter had (a)sex
>>
>>16799164
neither of those things have a metabolism, which is recognized as an important feature of life
>>
>>16799170
that's exactly what a metabolism supremacist would say
>>
>>16799091
most viruses don’t do that thoughbeit

most of the ones that do evolved in animals before transferring over to humans, where the disease is deadlier than in its original host

Literally like black men
>find woman
>fuck the woman
>leave her to raise the kids alone
>the woman is spent by the end
>she dies, releasing a bunch of other niggers into the wild to do the same

>kill host
has the clowndemic teached you nothing? the evolution literally selected for strain of clownovid which was least deadly and instead had the highest spread ratio.

now the disease is as laughtable as flu and not even the media are able to persuade anyone to take it seriously, least get newest speed of science dose.

All the actual deadly viruses wiped themselves out and or got replaced by the milder variants. One of the biggest examples are measles, where now mothers intentionally spread it among kids, when few centuries ago it was almost death sentence to the point they "renamed" the disease to true measles.

Nothing. Evolution meant nothing by that.

welp, some faggot dictionary clearly has it all figured out

>>16799091
Evolution doesn't select for long term survival, it selects for reproductive success. If long term survival isn't conductive towards greater reproductive success, it won't be selected for.

Just wait till you find out a lot of animals, like salmon and many insects, lose their ability to feed later in life to preserve energy for breeding.

Remember that Evolution has an anagram
Evil: No Out

>>16799091
A virus that kills the host is usually a simple mutation that will slowly evolve into a harmless version over time, whatever is the best strategy wins.

Covid was so retarded becasue of social panic, if they just waited it out it would have become passive over time. Just as happened, the vaccines were totally unnecessary outside of the old and infirm.

Whoa. You're right. Makes a nibba think
>>
>>16799091
virus needs to make copies of itself and most of the time it kills the host but not always. sometimes the host kills itself or, if it's animal cell, it's killed by an immune cell even though the virus is keeping the host alive so it can keep making copies of itself. so you're argument is complete faggotry and demonstrates you utter lack of understanding of the many types of virus life cycles. I could go on about what a cock sucking dick worshipping faggot you are
>>
why do bacteriophages look like robots
>>
>>16799091
Viruses compete with each other so holding back trying to preserve the host only leads to the ones not doing it being more successful.
