Though I find cheating/conflict theoretically fun to think about, I strongly resonate with this. To me it feels like a much harder problem to study is the reduction in (eff.) pop. size during an ETI, causing a dramatic increase in the strength of stochasticity in determining evolutionary outcomes.
He also talks about that here link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Polymorphisms are fun to study, here is a butterfly one. Negative freq.dependence works to maintain things but where does it come from? Temporal variation works but not always! @koraklein.bsky.social and @chriswheat.bsky.social looked into this in detail.
