The Goals of the Game

From the very first time one cell split into two, life has bent its energy and ambition toward survival and domination. From cancer cells to blackberry bushes to the yapping little chihuahua next door, all forms of life share this trait with humans. At this instinctual level, every life form strives to expand its species’s domain, even if it means killing the host on which it depends for survival. (For instance, harmful bacteria kill people every day because organisms such as these don’t have a conscious mind that could enable them to consider whether expansion is desirable. They simply obey their impulses.)

So, despite possessing the world’s most extraordinary intellect, we operate with basically the same goals as a single cell of E. coli. While we possess the ability to override these instincts and do whatever we want, we don’t make use of this ability nearly so often as we might like to believe. Just look at what we have been doing with our own host habitat. Humans have been expanding and killing off anything that stands in their way for the past one hundred thousand years. No species has ever been so successful in the destruction of this world.
