Spore

The point about the game Spore is that, if it were true to life, it wouldn't need a player and it wouldn't be a game.

Whatever

I think that the "whatever" sense in natural selection is somehow deep and important...

What's being selected? (I mean positively selected)
Whatever works.

Whatever genes, creating whatever structures or behaviors, relating in whatever way to the environment, as long as these things result in an increased ability to survive & reproduce, they will be selected.

It does not depend on our ability to name, specify & understand things, for things to be selected.
