Quote of the Day.

If you think of the “ideal” system- the one that produced life on earth, in all its diversity and richness- as guided by a top-down process that has a goal set for everything (or maybe just humans), then that sounds a lot more like a version of socialism that somehow produced wild success than anything.

ACTUAL evolution is a lot more like the world’s most cutthroat capitalist proposition. No rules except “succeed or go extinct”. – LabRat from this comment thread.
