What else seems to simulate life itself?
Few things came to mind this morning over a second cup of black coffee: Tournament Chess (sustained struggle to remain patient, visualize possibilities, protect what you can't afford to lose, avoid elimination... and no j'adoubes); Professional Golf (physical/mental toughness, well honed tee to green skills, 'go for distance or keep it in the fairway' juggernaut decision vectors always in play... and no mulligans; Cyberspace Chat (initiatives, decisions, indecisions and revisions... and no turning back).
What else?
Originally posted by Grampy Bobbyit seems to trivialise life to try to reduce it to these limited activities, which each make up a just a small part of life. you can't credibly claim that, say, tournament chess, really captures much of life at all. golf even less so. and cyberspace chat - really, no.

do you see cyberspace chat as a contest, like chess or golf? perhaps that's part of your problem.

Industrious Gophers (using their uniquely designed cheek pouches to transport food to secure storage chambers in elaborate burrow systems and labyrinthian tunnels for the sole benefit of their families, fearful only of persistent reptiles and exterminator smoke bombs... and entertaining no greater life priority than 'to improve their holes every day'.

Lower Levels of The Food Chain (in which life history is briefer than our own... with some insects that complete life cycles from egg take less than a year. Exceptions may include aphids usually having 4 to 5 generations in a summer. Common fruit flies we see flitting around overripe bananas seem to hold the record for shortest with maybe 25 generations within one species or year. Female lays 100 to 150 white eggs, tiny things that look like long-grain rice. Maybe 500 during her life. Half day later or so, if warm enough, hundred or so eggs hatch into cream-white wiggly worm-like creatures named maggots.
Four days later, the maggots transform into brown pupae. The pupae stays quiet while awaiting the inside work leading to their next change. Another six days, the pupae begin to move slightly. Soon, the end of one cracks open and an adult fly squirms out. He/she flies away and a horde or herd of brothers and sisters soon follow. Within a couple of days the cool, cool, cool over eager and hot to trot adults find mates and start a next generation. Within a week or so they also die. At season's end, a few adult house flies survive the winter's freeze in a warm corner of some building. Most don't. Instead, some flies migrate as maggots or pupae buried in manure or rotting grass to start the next year's swarms. Thanks, Google, for the details).
