Chapter Four: The Red Queen's Hypothesis (Janusian Progress)
Through The Looking-Glass EXPLAINED
Alice is about to receive a crash course in Evolution and Creativity. In fact, the Red Queen is the embodiment of Evolutionary Creativity itself.
Alice, having failed to get along with the Red Queen in her first encounter, is still lucky enough to follow the Red Queen to the top of a little hill overlooking the country.
Janusian Progression
The Red Queen Hypothesis states that,
"...organisms must constantly adapt, evolve, and proliferate not merely to gain reproductive advantage, but also simply to survive while pitted against ever-evolving opposing organisms in a constantly changing environment."
Even though the Red Queen seems to be a harsh Professor, she is trying to show Alice how competition works in the real world.
Don PayPal
In fact, Peter Thiel, affectionately called the 'Don' of the Paypal Mafia which includes Elon Musk, believes that competition is for chumps and that the few people who want to become successful entrepreneurs should focus on creating monopolies instead of just another clone like the thousandth solar panel company.
After the Red Queen predicts the eventual feast but not her own capture, Alice remembers she's a White Pawn, and that it will soon be her turn to make a move.
Through The Looking-Glass EXPLAINED uncovers the hidden algorithms that underlie Lewis Carroll’s greatest work. Along the way, you’ll learn how you can go from a Pawn to a Queen, just like Alice does.
