We’ve evolved past that whole natural selection thing.
It is interesting how those who are most passionate about the idea that we got here by evolution tend also to be the ones who put a pretty low priority on reproducing themselves.. It’s like the whole natural selection plan was invented just to culminate with their freedom to be free of the burdens of […]
How we ruin it.
