Comment one sentence disproof of natural selection (Score 1) 868

Except that humans did live sustainably for tens and tens of thousands of years. it is only this particular civilization, western civilization, that has destroyed this equilibrium.

Jensen makes an excellent one sentence disproof of the notion that competition drives natural selection:

If you hyperexploit your surroundings you will deplete them and die; the only way to survive in the long run is to give back more than you take. Duh.

This culture - Western Civilization - has been depleting its surroundings for six thousand years, beginning in the Middle East and expanding now to deplete the entire planet. Why else do you think this culture has to continually expand?
