Forget Darwin. Nietzsche nails it better. Animals do not merely adapt - life is not a genetic lottery. Living things grow towards ‘more’; more light, more water, more food, more space - they want to expand, flourish, consume, develop and grow and crowd out other forms of life. Life is not passive or reactive. It is violently proactive, expansive, and if genetic adaptation assists in the struggle, then even better. This is a good example of Nietzschean thought demolishing flimsy fashionable ‘evolutionary’ thinking without lifting a finger.
