The Darwinian Trap

The audiobook explores how humans are inherently wired to prioritize short-term success over long-term survival, a tendency rooted in evolutionary processes known as "Darwinian demons." Kristian Rönn examines how these impulses influence global challenges like climate change and misinformation, emphasizing the need for new systems to better align our values with sustainable solutions. With an ultimately optimistic perspective, the work advocates for rethinking our priorities and cooperation to address these existential threats.
