He asked for an explanation for behavior outside of Darwinism and I gave it to him, if you consider transhumanism valid. One problem with Darwinism is that it makes this assumption that at a certain level of intelligence you act out of necessity. This is all well and good for animals but we've evolved beyond necessity (you'll likely disagree with the concept of "the accursed share," but I suggest you look it up all the same). I understand that we're shaped by the past, but I also understand that history is necessarily an imperfect narrative in the light of real human experience. I only called him a biological animist because his talk of behaviors "revolving around" survival reminded me of geocentrism:
