Doing what is competitively necessary to ensure your (selfish) DNA gets passed on.
Just because our DNA is selfish doesn't mean we have to be. My DNA is great, but in the grand scheme of things, it isn't important that I pass it on. I can't recommend adoption to would-be parents enough.
I would be interested to hear more about this dualism which separates our DNA from our better 'self'.
I like the idea that we are something more than our DNA.
