“Evolution doesn’t care for smarts. It cares about the next generation. Evolution is driven by whatever improves the odds of the next generation succeeding. If anything, our intelligence is an impediment to that. We’re burning fossil fuels for this generation, not the next. We’re cutting down the rainforests for ourselves, not our kids. Oh, we hide behind the stock market and our local supermarket, but we’re all part of this, with each of us acting for ourselves alone. Our intelligence is actually kind of dumb.”
