Thanks for reaching the very end of this trilogy! đ I want to briefly mention that, having r-strategists in an ecosystem is natural and not inherently âevilâ, no matter how badly you might think of them after reading my article.

We are all conditioned more or less by the modern world to think fast and act faster. The most cost-effective way to ace a closed-book exam is to cram all information into your short-term memory just a few days prior. The most time-efficient way to entertain yourself is to scroll through social media and see whatever catches your eyes in the split second. Who would want to spend weeks reading an old, chunky book, who would want to read that long article except for its title?
