O inevitável fim da nossa existência causa-nos tanto receio como interesse. Faz parte do nosso instinto de sobrevivência enquanto espécie tentar precaver ameaça à nossa existência. O mais irónico é que a própria natureza indica-nos todos os dias que somos em número demasiado grande para continuar-mos a existir neste frágil ecosistema.
O fim é inevitável.
"Although Malthus thought famine and poverty natural outcomes, the ultimate reason for those outcomes was divine institution. He believed that such natural outcomes were God's way of preventing man from being lazy. Both Darwin and Wallace independantly arrived at similar theories of Natural Selection after reading Malthus. Unlike Malthus, they framed his principle in purely natural terms both in outcome and in ultimate reason. By so doing, they extended Malthus' logic further than Malthus himself could ever take it. They realized that producing more offspring than can survive establishes a competitive environment among siblings, and that the variation among siblings would produce some individuals with a slightly greater chance of survival."
Yeah... right.
