0:22 - 0:24The most common thing
that people associate with Darwin -
0:24 - 0:28is, of course, "survival of the fittest."
-
0:28 - 0:33What people don't realize very often is
that Darwin actually never said that. -
0:33 - 0:34You can read throught
everything he ever wrote -
0:34 - 0:36and you'll never find those words.
-
0:36 - 0:41It's, in fact, an incorrect
paraphrase of his teachings. -
0:41 - 0:44What he really wrote about was
"survival of the collaborative," -
0:44 - 0:46"survival of the adaptive."
-
0:46 - 0:50And the other lesson fron nature
that I want to point out briefly is -
0:50 - 0:55as we think about moving into a more
collaborative, abundant society, -
0:55 - 0:59part of what's impeding our ability
to do that is that we're brought up -
0:59 - 1:03in this mindset that
it is a zero-sum game. -
1:03 - 1:06It is what kind of world?
It's a dog-eat-dog world. -
1:06 - 1:09But, if you just take a second
to look at nature, -
1:09 - 1:11dogs don't eat dogs, do they?
-
1:11 - 1:13(Laughter)
-
1:13 - 1:17So, let's take a step back
in order to take a step forward.

Hello, just writing to report a couple of misprints:
0:32 - throught (should be "through")
0:46 - fron (should be "from")
