The virtualization of conflict neatly solves this. Nature makes conflict virtual, as part of its drive towards efficiency. The result is conflicts between companies and sports teams. When these “die” it is sometimes sad, but no human beings are seriously harmed in the process. It’s Darwinian evolution that has lost its sting. Evolution via differential reproductive success is largely an alternative to evolution via death.
