自然創造了各種激勵機制，促使追求自身利益的個體帶來整體的進步。一個簡單的例子是性與自然選擇。自然給了人類極多的從事性行為的激勵，主要表現 為該行為會提供巨大的快樂，但它的目的是促進基因的進化。透過這一方式，每個個體的需求都得到了滿足，進而為整體的進化做出了貢獻。
To give you a quick example of nature creating incentives that lead to individuals pursuing their own interests that result in the advancement of the whole, look at sex and natural selection. Nature gave us one hell of an incentive to have sex in the form of the great pleasure it provides, even though the purpose of having sex is to contribute to the advancement of the DNA. That way, we individually get what we want while contributing to the evolution of the whole.
