> Aren’t our desires just a reflection of evolutionarily advantageous behavior? I think that’s a great question but it’s not quite there in this context. Think of a virus as being more like a rock. We don’t attribute wants or desires to rocks (though maybe there is some fun and interesting philosophy to uncover here). The reason to be careful is that you’ll never be able to think like a virus (or a rock) and so when you think that the virus might do X or Y you’re inserting a human bias to the virus that may cause error in judgement. Of course we’re just rambling on the internet but I guess it’s a good rule of thumb or at least something to think about.
