Midwits rationalize behavior or phenomena with “natural selection” or “survival of the fittest” especially when engaging in zero sum games in their lives.
Humanity as a whole will be in the darwin awards for failing to realize that species wide success (or success of anyone’s personal lineage) depends on not interpreting “anything goes in nature” to mean “we don’t have to try to cooperate to survive” as a species.
“Natural / Artificial” are useless words, as humans are inherently part of nature. Pretending as if we are somehow immune from tendencies and follies of “lesser” life forms is the first step towards being naturally selected out.
Human culture can learn from bacterial culture. We must choose ways of living that don’t result in destroying our host.
