Natural selection boils down to this: over time, useless traits are pushed out of the genetics of organisms so they can survive. Lust, greed, hate. They all seem rather useless to me. Some how, unnecessary to my survival, logic tells me other wise. Why then and how would I evolve past this state of simple survival? Wow, that thought seems to make my mind inevitably complex, wayyy more complex than what i need to survive. Lust, greed, anger. Those seem rather undesirable. Again much more than i need. So really, if natural selection worked, parts of my unnecessary brain would work themselves out. The right side of my brain would simplify so war would stop so that my race could survive. So the world would be utopia. I would care about the environment for one. I would also have no use for love, passion, or joy. Love for one can only complicate my existence. Why not reproduce with anything? Would pursuing my intrist and passion help? No, they have to go as well. So i guess, since I have apparently developed things past my survival instincts, natural selection therefore, can simply not even exist.
