Joy Garnett >Actually, it could be just our jeans... organisms are open systems with orifices through which both energy and matter may flow. photosynthesis involves flow of gases through stomata. sex is merely a flow of matter and dissipation of energy. sex exists because the organisms that reproduce sexually have survived. it has no inherent advantage over asexual reproduction - when the xy-male konglomerat packs and the mmedia are exclaiming triumphal - it is dze ultra zeit to innervate the cortical pyramidal neurons. to accelerate intraspecific competition. to invade the biomass with asexual mutants. the allele that confers a two-fold advantage in growth rate per capita + doubles its representation in the population each generation. http://www.membank.org/0002/0002.html "It comes as a powder that gets cloudy when you add water" (!) joy garnett # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
