Survival of the fittest. Nature red in tooth and claw. The common view of natural selection is based solely on the individual: A trait allows an organism to out-compete its rivals and is thus passed down to its offspring.

It needs to be emphasized explicitly that the narratives we apply to how nature works are perhaps the most politically charged narratives in modern culture.

Everything about how we narrativize nature is just a rationalization for our own behavior disguised as the introduction of outside information.
