: 	Of course, this all assumes that evolutionary success is defined 
: by how many creatures of other species one can kill.  Which is 
: incorrect.  It's about how well one is conformed to one's environment.  

our environment is made up OF other creatures...


: Many times, that involves working in concert (intentionally or not) with 
: other species.  Life and reality aren't a "game" we're playing with all 
: of the other species as opponents.

The GAME i referred to is the one "push" or "dont" referring to the 
button (nuclear), a rifle (hunting), a spray can etc... Our arsenal of 
weapons created to wipe out living things with relative ease and little 
energy.
