Primer in 5 years: "Okay so now we introduce our Blobs to another trait called taxes."

"Simple blobs with no social structure"

I feel personally attacked.

I can't tell you how many times i've watched this video for how many years, but it remains one of my favorite videos of all time

There is another variable to consider here. A green blob, perhaps called the Raven. The Raven acts like a Hawk when facing a Dove and acts like a Dove when facing a Hawk. I wager this would be the most successful strategy. You could even add a fourth, a yellow one called a Swan that acts like a Dove when facing a Dove but acts like a Hawk when facing a Hawk. I would like to see such a simulation.

“Hey, you want to share that food? Sharing’s caring.”

“Sorry, I’ve already reached my caring capacity”

Doves: sharing is caring
Hawks: splish splash your opinion is trash

I would personally pick dove no matter what, since when a blob encounters a dove it will survive 100% of the time, but when it meets a hawk the dove has an upper hand since it gets 50% chance of survival. And the survival chance is actually more valuable than the reproduce chance, since you can survive without reproducing, but you can't reproduce without surviving

If I ever have to explain the Hawk/dove theory again, I will send people your way. You did a great job at explaining it.

This took “sharing is caring” to a whole new level

Blob - hey do you ever think we're in a simulation?

Other blob: nah that's stupid

I was very inspired by your video! Thank you so much.

what’s interesting to me is that it seems the most beneficial to be all doves, but only if food is abundant. If food is abundant, then enough doves will have a chance of reproducing. However, the high levels of reproduction might outpace the amount of food, leading to aggression being the only way to survive and reproduce.
