Nature is a short-term Darwinian profiteer

Via ChaordicEdge I found Richard Dawkins website (the author of The Selfish Gene which I have mentioned in passing earlier) where a bunch of his writings are available online. The first to catch my attention was an open letter (in the Guardian) to Prince Charles.

It may sound paradoxical, but if we want to sustain the planet into the future, the first thing we must do is stop taking advice from nature. Nature is a short-term Darwinian profiteer.

The above was posted to my personal weblog on June 10, 2002. My name is Peter Lindberg and I am a thirtysomething software developer and dad living in Stockholm, Sweden. Here, you’ll find posts in English and Swedish about whatever happens to interest me for the moment.
