gollark: You *can* turn off the biters in Factorio if you want.
gollark: It's not as if we have enough of an understanding of human minds and consciousness and whatever that "sophont" and "free will" and all that are well-defined.
gollark: There was that thing where some scientists put... flies, I think it was, in some environment where they couldn't have much of a population. They did not evolve to have fewer young or something. They evolved to cannibalize each other's young.
gollark: Evolution doesn't really select for the good of the species either, just the propagation of your genes.
gollark: Congratulations!
