Behavioural Meetup: Stuart Church on Darwin to DesignPrime Decision

��

This document summarizes Stuart Church's presentation on applying evolutionary thinking to design and behavior. It discusses how designs and behaviors are subject to natural selection processes like variation, replication, and selection. Successful designs and behaviors persist while unsuccessful ones fail. Experimental approaches that generate many variations, like Amazon's product experiments, can accelerate innovation. Most new innovations are small modifications of existing ideas and behaviors within the "adjacent possible." Cooperative behaviors can emerge from strategies like reciprocity in iterated games. Copying others' successful behaviors and designs is also an evolutionarily advantageous strategy.
