Evolution favors the survival of the wisest.
I think of evolution as an error-making and error-correcting process, and we are constantly learning from experience.
I have come to recognize evolution not only as an active process that I am experiencing at the time, but as something I can guide by the choices I make.
When things get bad enough, then something happens to correct the course. And it's for that reason that I speak about evolution as an error-making and an error-correcting process. And if we can be ever so much better - ever so much slightly better - at error correcting than at error making, then we'll make it.
