【藍綠第二次綁架】藍團 The Darwinian Games

Every now and then, I can't help but watch a fur-and-feather drama playing out in a parcel of wilderness not far from my backyard. Furs belong to coyotes and feathers come with wild geese.

 

Where wild geese land is where they feed. Where they feed is also where coyotes feed. Herbivores enjoy the grass. Carnivores enjoy the herbivores. Simple, plain, and true. That's the beauty--or the beastiliness--of the Darwinian Games which, in a real sense, are the Hunger Games. Hunger explains Darwinism in a nutshell. But then, why did it take millennia for us to figure it out? Better late than never, though. Kudos to Charles Darwin for publishing The Origin of Species in 1859. Kudos to the English poet Alfred Tennyson who, in 1850, declared that "nature, red in tooth and claw." Science and literature make sense to each other, don't they?

 

Coyotes and wild geese make sense to each other, too, if you know what I mean.

• 是你拍的嗎？這口語真棒，還有南方口音，好問題，適者生存看似自然現象，為什麽人首先要用超自然去解釋自然？ -移花接木- ♂ (0 bytes) () 12/18/2022 postreply 05:27:55
