Progress is a function of difference. Asexual reproduction results in some difference. Sexual reproduction results in even more difference. Therefore, there’s more progress with sexual reproduction than there is with asexual reproduction.

Progress is a function of difference… is this an economic rule? Of course. Economics is all about progress. Is this rule simply a human construct? No. Does it have a fundamental physical basis? Sure.

Progress is a function of difference…does nature follow from this economic rule or does this economic rule follow from nature? Eh? For sure nature follows from this economic rule. There wouldn’t be any nature if it wasn’t for this economic rule!

Do you want more nature? If so, then for sure you better obey this economic rule. You can obey this economic rule by promoting pragmatarianism. Nothing else would unleash so much difference.

These days it’s really popular for people to promote diversity. It’s super easy to test whether or not these promoters genuinely understands the value of diversity. Just as them if people should be free to choose where their taxes go. If they say no, then you’ll know for sure that they are clueless about the true value of difference.
