Evolution

MAYBE QUARTERLY - Vol 2 / Issue 4 - Karmic Economics: Pure Capitalism:

"Competition is healthy, natural – inherent even. But our species got it all fucked up. We look at other animals and talk about survival of the fittest. We see the fierce competition in simpler animals that seek to pass on their genes. But really, evolution is about projecting the greatest we have as a species into the future – not being the one whose descendents own the future. Evolution is about spending each day competing with who you were yesterday. It’s about looking forward and making sure you’re not traveling in circles. What greater achievement can you possibly imagine than breaking the cycle of repeating the past? When history repeats itself, it proves that we have not learned from our mistakes; we have not evolved; we may as well have remained amoebas. With all your wealth, you remained a generic gear on some huge machine."
