Evil, By Definition, Is That Which Endangers

In Nature We Find Not Only That Which Is Expedient, But Also Everything Which Is Not So Inexpedient As To Endanger The Existence Of The Species.

Natural Selection Does Not Give Any Preference At All To Anything That, In The Long Run, Could Be Advantageous For The Species But Blindly Rewards Everything That, Momentarily, Affords Greater Procreative Success.

I See The Creative Accomplishments Of Which Highly Gifted Humans Are Capable As Special Cases Of The Universal Creative Process, That Game Played By Everyone Against Everyone Else, From Which Wells Up All That Has Never Been Before.

All The Advantages That Man Has Gained From His Ever-deepening Understanding Of The Natural World That Surrounds Him, His Technological, Chemical And Medical Progress, All Of Which Should Seem To Alleviate Human Suffering... Tends Instead To Favor Humanity's Destruction.

Humor And Knowledge Are The Two Great Hopes Of Our Culture.
