“There are a hell of a lot more ways for nature to recognize and reward success than gene development. In fact, nature is essentially solid ‘hell of a lot more ways’. The humans find the structure that this sophisticated symmetry is most indicative of, call this the top of the pyramid, and then exclaim ‘Nothing underneath this matters’. This is like imagining that you exist, heart, brain, mind, everything… just to grow a head of hair. That hair is the ‘real purpose’ of existence. Right. And worse, not just the hair, but ‘peculiar tangles passed on from one generation to the next which increase survival fitness.’ Idiots.”
