That’s exactly what time saying, we are currently “playing fair” but we don’t need to
[Speech-to-text detected]
But we are. I'm sure there are plenty of examples of behavior in nature where the animals are doing shit they don't need to be doing, that also affect their natural selection. But it's their nature.
We might make the argument that we aren't living according to our nature, but we made our nature this. Whatever we're doing right now is effectively our nature.
Aliens visiting earth for the first time right now will look at us and conclude that what we are doing is our nature, and that we are surprisingly ill-equipped for our own nature and society. That we are working together in some aspects, and against each other in some, and it makes no goddamn sense.
