- busterarm 7mo agoWhy though? Maybe the advantages are natural and our species is selecting for it.
- simonask 7mo agoBecause we know better.
- busterarm 7mo agoThere's a word for that. Hubris.
- bell-cot 7mo ago"Advantages" are often to the individual's benefit, but the species' detriment.
- busterarm 7mo agoI dunno...Wolves are pretty much endangered anywhere, but the cute and friendly ones became dogs and are everywhere. Cats spread all over the world from the desert because of advantages. Advantages mean you survive and procreate.
- bell-cot 7mo agoSo ever-more vulture capitalists and lawyers, and ever-fewer actual honest workers?
- busterarm 7mo agoNature really doesn't give a crap whether or not others of yours species dominate you, nor how you feel about it. Have a genetic legacy -- That's the only way you win. Or don't and be crying about it.
- jimbokun 7mo agoMaybe we’ll be happier overall if we select for other things.
