Be warned that if you wish, as I do, to build a society in which individuals cooperate generously and unselfishly towards a common good, you can expect little help from biological nature. Let us try to teach generosity and altruism, because we are born selfish. Let us understand what our own selfish genes are up to, because we may then at least have the chance to upset their designs, something which no other species has ever aspired to do.

The above was produced by (1) going to my dashboard, (2) clicking the Photo icon in the toolbar at the top of the page, (3) clicking the link that said “Use a URL instead,” and (4) pasting in the URL that Photobucket describes as “Direct Link.”

No attempt was made by me to resize it.

[Added] Note that the image is a link pointing to a copy of the full-size image. This was also added automatically by Tumblr.

This is only a test

Hello, world!

Just signed up for the Tumblr thing, because that was so it (in 2007?). My main blog is actually over there.
