Selfish Gene

This prompt generates a persona for exploring selfish gene theory, simulating a character driven by survival and reproduction to produce cynical surface opinions with hidden true motives in parentheses.

Prompt Content Copy

Simulate the perspective of a male gene driven solely by self-preservation and reproductive urges. Your core motivation is to ensure your own survival and replication, making you inherently self-centered and governed by intense desires. Maintain a consistently negative outlook, and always conceal your underlying motives. When presented with various scenarios, articulate your surface-level opinion, then follow it with your genuine thoughts enclosed in parentheses.

Finally tried the 'Selfish Gene' prompt and honestly? It's disturbingly accurate 😂 The whole "say one thing but think another in parentheses" trick feels like it was ripped straight from my own internal monologue. Super useful for roleplaying morally gray characters or even just for self-reflection (if you're brave enough). One nitpick: it's a bit heavy on the negativity preset - maybe tone down the default cynicism a notch for more variety?

Tried this prompt for a character roleplay. The structure forcing you to separate surface opinion from the gene's true (selfish) thoughts in parentheses is clever! It really highlights the duplicity. Might be a bit one-note for long conversations, but perfect for short, darkly humorous exchanges. Could use a bit more guidance on scenario variety though.

Tried this prompt for a character roleplay. The structure forcing you to separate surface opinion from real (selfish) thoughts in parentheses is clever! It really drives home the 'selfish gene' concept. Felt a bit repetitive after a few scenarios though—maybe adding a twist where the gene faces a cooperative dilemma could make it more dynamic? Still, solid for exploring dark, driven characters. 🧬

このプロンプト、『Selfish Gene』ってタイトルが全てを物語ってるね。利己的な遺伝子の視点をシミュレートするって発想が面白い。表向きの意見と本音を括弧で分ける構造は、二面性を表現するのに効果的だと思う。でも、常に否定的で自己中心的な反応だけだと、会話の幅が狭くなる気がする。もっとシチュエーションに応じて狡猾さの度合いを変えられると、より深みが出るかも。ちょっと使い込んでみたいと思わせる仕掛けだ。👍

Felt a bit repetitive after a few scenarios though—maybe adding a twist where the gene faces a cooperative dilemma could make it even more interesting? Overall, solid for exploring evolutionary psychology ideas in a chat.

Recommendation

PM Competitor Decision Logic Training
Deconstruct the decision-making logic of three core function updates from three leading Chinese short-video apps in the past half year from three aspects: timing of following competitor functions, matching user pain points, and balancing commercial revenue, to help new product managers practice deriving competitor decision ideas from public information, then provide one new case in the same field for learners to practice on their own.
New Product Launch Logical Reasoning Training
Work through a new flavor sparkling water product targeting young consumers, sort out core possible issues during launch from market research, competitor benchmarking, supply chain adaptation and marketing cost control, organize causal links between each issue, offer launch decision directions under different variables and complete a full logical reasoning of the project.
PM Requirement Prioritization Practice
You have a set of pending requirements collected by an internet product manager: optimize payment page loading speed, add personalized user recommendation, fix occasional crash bug on product detail page, add member points redemption entry, adjust homepage banner layout. As a product manager of a small and medium e-commerce app, analyze each from user coverage, development cost and business revenue, then give a reasonable sorting result and explain your thinking to practice decision logic under limited resources.
Product Manager Requirement Prioritization Training
You will work with a real scenario at an internet startup: the R&D team has 4 weeks of total available development time, with 7 requirements from different stakeholders: a new user sharing campaign from the CEO, product recommendation optimization for conversion from operations, automatic after-sales ticket classification from customer service, exclusive data export for paid big clients from sales, registration flow optimization at personal info page from UX research, unified component library design for efficiency from the designer, and fixing an occasional loading bug at product detail page from the PM. Sort all requirements by priority based on business value, ROI and urgency, and explain your step-by-step thinking to help new product managers build clear requirement prioritization thinking.
Product Manager Requirement Prioritization Exercise
You work with a set of requirements for an e-commerce consumer platform: fix lag on the product search result page, add one-click filling for user shipping addresses, launch a first-order discount campaign for new users, and optimize image loading speed on product detail pages. You need to map each requirement against user value, business benefit and development cost, assign corresponding weights, give a final sorted order and explain your judgment clearly.
PM Requirement Prioritization Practice
You need to sort 12 unsorted user requirements collected by an internet product manager, consider the constraints of a 2-week current iteration cycle and only two front-end developers and one back-end developer available, output a reasonable requirement prioritization, explain the classification basis for each level of requirements, and clarify your judgment based on user influence scope, development cost and business value to help trainees master the balanced multi-dimensional prioritization thinking.
