selfish eye sight
Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation forthe existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind.

If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker. Richard Dawkins
selfish compassion people
How far does one combine resistance to over-control with social justice, i.e. tolerable living for people in general?

Well, I think certain roles are chosen for us. The moment I read Pete Campbell I thought: I can do this, this is mine. And in Money, too. The truth is I turn down a lot of projects. If a character doesn't have some kind of internal struggle, it's no good for me. Vincent Kartheiser
