Neither is obviously a good description. More raw approaches using terminology that stem from observation:
Survival of the fittest
Survival of the flattest
May fit better, though it may take a while to find what you are looking for, or longer to explain. ‘Evolution favors ‘robust’ systems that don’t get blown away because they harvest too much power and are unable to adjust for variance which is amplified under maximum extraction, which is why you can edit genes to make photosynthesis more efficient, and it may even work well for edited plants in a laboratory under grow lights where clouds don’t pass across the light source, and winds don’t blow around sources of shade high above for many levels.
Don’t die because you absorb too much power is a problem, and evolution*** solves it.**′
Intuitively, preparing for an ice age, probably works against preparing for the opposite (from an evolutionary perspective), most of the time.
eventually erode, get removed or repurposed
And this is an example of out how, a piece that isn’t about evolution, ignores things because they aren’t relevant. For example, viruses can sit around, biding their time, rather than having to ‘go on living, and carry on via generations’. If you want to talk about ‘living knowledge’ then ‘how elephants deal with drought’ will be more specific and related. (If a herd has members old enough to remember what to do*, like where to go, then the herd of elephants is a lot more likely to survive.)
There’s also stealing genes, which would seem to have some of the same problems that trying to copy institutions would have, and yet somehow works? Might be risky, but when failures die out...evolution is like survivorship bias turned up to eleven. And it works.
*Has to have been born, and be old enough to pay attention and remember.

arguing for the progressive view tends to lead to the theories on group selection,
Factors keeping ecosystems balanced under adverse conditions seem to involve groups, though larger and less species focused ones than this usually seems to refer to, in common usage. The frequency of symbiotic relationships (for better or for worse), seems suggestive of outside species relationships. Perhaps a result of a lack of competition, or increased ability to synergies when both parties are able to evolve to do different things.
