      Ok so this may sound stupid, but like, so if cells can tell other cells to change if that is what needed then in contrary to evolution theory, isn’t it possible that certain chemicals can be released that tell the sex cells, such as the sperm and the egg what is needed for the next generation, loads of these maybe completely ineffective and wrong but the body thinks this is what is needed, and possibly both cells are needed to agree on changes for this to work, so both cells must have the same decision for this to happen thus making evolution and change very rare but still possible, and bad mutations maybe accidental for reasons we don’t know

    You are missing one of the most iconic examples: Computers. They are fantastic machines that are made out of very simple units called transistors, which are mere gates that have only two options: to connect or disconnect, zero or one. It’s very much like the neurons of our brain. And from this extreme simplicity, you get infinite complexity and astounding results!

    I find that understanding emergence is one of the biggest keys for people to understand how the world works. pretty much every complex thing we do (engineering, biology, programming) consists of understanding how self contained units, can work together to make something more complex work, adding layers of abstraction so we dont have to worry about the step by step minutia, allowing us to make or study more complex things without getting bogged down in the details.

  • @Blaystift
    @Blaystift 2 года назад +46

    This explanation assumes at least some intelligence at the lower emmergence level in your example.
    The ants can remember who they have met and know, based on the chemicals they perceive, what job their opposite has. They can also compare the quantity of different encounters and draw different conclusions from different results. So far, so simple. You could do the same thing with four lines of computer code. I have no problem imagining that these four lines have enough space in an ant "brain".
    Now for the assumption: the ants have knowledge of every job there is in their collony. That's quite a bit of knowledge and probably more than four lines of code! And they carry this knowledge around with them permanently. For a human, that would be quite an achievement. Humans need about three years to learn just one (admittedly somewhat more complex) job and they usually have only a rough idea of other professions. The ant has never been taught either its old job or its new one. I think that's called instinct. So my question is: What is instinct? How does it work?

      Society have many flaws, but despite all this stupid stuff it's still operational. Which means there is some sort of emergence taking place.

I think this video really puts into perspective how insignificant an individual really is and yet through the cooperative efforts of such individuals, something magnificently great and significant emerges.

    In a team fortress 2 (a classic class based shooter) server, players looking at the class selection menu may choose a class to play, but they may also see what classes other players on their team are playing as.
    If all the players of a certain class leave, say, medic, and there are too many players of some other class, say, sniper, the team is at risk of getting beaten very badly.
    At this point, no critical response is triggered, all the players keep playing the overabundant classes they were playing, and the team loses.

    • @thffkfltm
      @thffkfltm Год назад +1

      I thought the exactly same thing. The soundtrack of this videos is really fascinating. I find that the song itself is also emergence. It start with single string, gradually add more instruments and they get more diverse. At the end they are arranged in harmony with many different melodies and beats but actually all of them are basically originated from the first single string. It is just adding more sounds in all directions so it is getting more complex, ended up having grand finale represents Kruzgesagt's main theme. Impressive.

      Onkgopotse Sibanyoni Why would you though? An ant might not understand that it has one task for most of its life before it dies, which seems pretty futile to humans. But you're not like that. You have the ability to choose whatever the hell you want to do in existence. You can choose not to support the ant colony. You can choose to go surf on a beach or play video games. Invent the next machine that allows us to travel at light speed. Find the love of your life and run away together forever. While it might seem like we're all just ants with one specific task in life, I believe were much, much more complex than that as humans. We have potentially infinite and unlimited free will to believe and do anything we want.
