I often think that humans, thanks to their intellect, managed to escape the grip of natural selection. But attitudes like this remind me that we didn’t really escape at all we just changed the battlefield. Natural selection no longer weeds out only the slow, the weak, or the physically unfit. Instead, it now works on a psychological level. Today, it punishes those who give up too easily, those who delude themselves, and those who are too selfish to think beyond their own comfort.
