“By legitimating the moral atrocity of mass murder, war, clothed as it is in the psychologically attractive trappings of patriotism, heroism, and the ultimately good cause, is one of the main components of human evil. War, because it causes incalculable harm, because it gives men and women justification to kill and injure one another without remorse, because it suspends conscience and neutralizes compassion, because it takes the form of psychological epidemics in which dehumanization, cruelty, and hatred are given unrestrained freedom, and because it is a source of profound human gratification and meaning—because of these things, war is not only a pathology, but is one of the most evident expressions of human evil.”

“We set for the design of large swimmers characterised by a segmented body bearing laterally-oriented flaps, and a head with a distinct radial oral cone, a pair of large frontal appendages adapted for different feeding modes, compound eyes on stalks, and prominent head carapaces. Only later we favored a more generalised sediment-sifting predatory mode for our Cambrian biosystems. Once realeased, Anomalocaris canadensis became a giant apex predator. It was evil by design, but being evil was a design decision in order to meet the main project requirement: to produce apex consumers with the ability to shape ecosystems, in a trophic cascade that propagates impacts from consumers on the size, abundance, diversity and behaviour of prey taxa that make up food webs. That was the requirement for the Cambrian seeding program.”

“The introduction of a finetuned Anomalocaris into the Cambrian ecosystem was a miscalculation that underestimated the complexity and interdependence of life forms within that environment. The experiment, intended to test resilience, instead revealed the fragility of the ecosystem in the face of sudden and significant changes. The rapid decline of prey species, coupled with the inability of many organisms to adapt quickly enough, led to a cascade of extinctions and a breakdown of the previously harmonious ecosystem. I have not argued that a species must be a carnivore to be a predator. Indeed, some omnivores, such as humans, are truly formidable predators. Neither have I argued that a species must be exclusively a predator to be influenced by selective pressures appropriate for a predatory evolutionary scenario. However, if predation is a major means of environmental adaptation, then the presumed result is a simplistic world view representing a consistent us–them dichotomy in which us are fine ... but them are dinner.”

“Once you design an ecosystem users do not know precisely what the subsystems they use are (in)capable of doing. Most malfunctionings of such subsystems are not intended by the designer, but some are, which means these cannot be classified as bugs or security loopholes. Anomalocaris was not a design bug. It was a carefully planned subsystem that was released into a peaceful Cambrian ecosystem, an ecosystem that was teeming with a variety of life forms that coexisted in a relatively harmonious manner. Anamolacaris was an evil subsystem, the first predator ever. It changed the entire history of Sol-3, turning the ecosystem into a battlefield. The emergence of Anomalocaris signalled the beginning of a new era in which predation became a driving force in the evolution of life.”

“The fundamental difference is that, when it comes to the human species, we have included a safeguarding algorithm: humans kill each other. This did not happen with designs derived from Anomalocaris, and that is why, in a sense, a human is safer as a predator than Anomalocaris. An Anomalocaris specimen would never kill another member of its species, resulting in its own extinction once its prey reserves were exhausted. In contrast, humans kill each other, sometimes for pure pleasure, ensuring that they will eventually become extinct, especially when prey is scarce.”
