Darwinian survival is so often co-opted for political ends: generations of bad people have used it to rationalise their guilt.
If this model of dissipation supersedes it, I wonder what political effects it will have? What will the dawkins of dissipation persuade/permit us to believe about ourselves?
Darwinian survival exists. It has existed as a natural phenomenon since the first relics of life ever graced the Universe.
The human question is whether we can develop a better localized system for our species. The problem is that if you're on top, Darwinian survival is a pretty sweet gig. That disincentivizes people in power from taking a long-term view.
