Please elaborate? >

It's full of illogical, junk philosophy.


Evolution is random by default. It can't misstep, for the same reason you can't throw a die and say it wasn't supposed to land on 6.


Nature cannot create an aspect of nature seperate from itself. The Solar System is still nature, for example. Potentially being able to travel to different planets doesn't make humans unnatural.


Saying we shouldn't exist based on natural law also doesn't make sense. We're either unnatural, or we aren't. We're pretty natural, given our evolution.


The "illusion of having a self" is stupid. Every individual animal is its own self, and we've seen many other species who understand this. There is no illusion.


Ironically, "honor" is the only thing he said that you could argue is "above" nature - it's a human construct. His criticism seems to be based upon humans exerting themselves over nature, but his argument for the solution he proposed is literally just that. 


Overall, it's a pretty dumb quote. It sounds like something a teenager going through their 'deep' phase would say. >

I agree with it >

It’s just pessimism. Yet another, “Humans bad, we should all die.” quote. >

Rusty Cohle is a Nihilist. So, it makes sense for his character. But in general, no. “Consciousness” is an inevitable step in evolution. It is the only way to survive fate. Does the human brand of consciousness being with it the looming threat of self destruction?  Sure. But evolution gambles all of the time. Sometimes it’s a success, sometimes it’s a failure. >

What do you mean by "inevitable" and by "only way to survive fate" >

Alright alright alright. >
