Synopsis :

All social species have those that walk away . They are vital to the survival of the species .

 

Discussion :

1.Evolutionary argument :

See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2005/08/sexes-of-man.html .

The same argument applies .

Walkaway genes are generated all the time . The worst ones gets leached out of the gene-pool by the walkaways , benefitting the species .

But non-zero percentage discovers new things that percolates back to the hive .

Something like spam .

 

2.Freed from the crushing load of the future , greater risks are taken in exploring . Called Risk Capital .

3.Past baggage is ditched .  

 

4.Insects:

Entomologists should look (a meta-analysis with p<5 .="" 1="" away="" find="" insects="" many="" o:p="" st="" that="" to="" walk="">

Ever wonder what that lonely ant in the middle of nowhere is doing there ?

Should be a higher percentage for Butterflies .

5.  The more literate insects excrete dark pellets of the past and the future in their flight to the Flame of the Singularity .

Paradoxical bombs of insight . The feedback mechanism for the hive .

What is discarded becomes guidelines for the future .

The rejected stone becomes the cornerstone .
