Not a repudiation of Darwinism as science, of course, for you cannot repudiate truth. But the very fact that Darwinism is true makes it even more important for us to fight against the naturally selfish and exploitative tendencies of nature. . . . We can do it because our brains . . . Natural selection is like a robot that can only climb uphill, even if this leaves it stuck on top of a measly hillock. . . . It may sound paradoxical, but if we want to sustain the planet into the future, the first thing we must do is stop taking advice from nature.
Nature is a short-term Darwinian profiteer.
