  3. "In evolutionary biology, one of the proposed solutions to the question of why sexual (as opposed to asexual) reproduction is so abundant is the Red Queen Hypothesis, based on the character in Alice in Wonderland in whose country you had to run as fast as you could just to stay in place. The idea is that competition is so severe that a species has to evolve as fast as it can just to stay where it is; sexual reproduction provides a kind of evolutionary overdrive. Similarly, there is such strong competition in the systems trading niche that the trader has to develop systems as fast as he or she can to merely stay in place."
