Yes it is Dawkins theory of the selfish gene. But it builds on Darwin.

I wholeheartedly agree with the notion that human intelect is overrated. Not saying that we have not accomplished some great things as a species, but what about things like anthills and beaver dams. Those are pretty complex structures too. And created by animals with what we consider minimal mental faculties.

It is always fun to consider the implications evolution has on ethics.

A philosopher is a person who knows less and less about more and more, until he knows nothing about everything.

Personally I like to compare myself and others objectively rather than subjectively, compared to the slobbering ignoramuses around me one may think that I'm a well balanced and intelligent individual. The objective truth is very different

*edit: others here meaning species

It doesnt make any sense why it would be that way with us when we are as intelligent as we think we are..




I think that you are right, evolution by natural selection works for animals in nature.

With nature being defined as everything but humans and their ideas. We decide which traits we want to prevail, but everyone has a different idea of what traits should prevail.

I think that it is women that choose our course of evolution, because they ultimately decide who's child they bear and if they bear children in most cases. (generally)
