  1. Why Sustainability is Irrelevant Ian Dunn GALAPAGOS CONSERVATION TRUST

  2. “I now want to come to sustainability itself and the values that might encourage it. From a Darwinian point of view, the problem is that: sustainability is all about long-term benefits of the world or of the ecosystem at the expense of short-term benefits. Darwinism encourages precisely the opposite values. Short-term genetic benefit is all that matters in a Darwinian world. Superficially, the values that will have been built into us will have been short-term values not long-term ones”. Sustainability Doesn’t Come Naturally: A Darwinian Perspective On Values: Professor Richard Dawkins
