minus-squareembed_me@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·12 days agoYou’re imposing a purpose on them, not all of them will reproduce
minus-squarebastion@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-212 days agoSurvival and reproduction aren’t the purpose, they are simply structural. Perhaps, simply as experiences, they could be of the purpose.
