Evolution of evolution

About Zapffe´s quotes:
"The tragedy of a species becoming unfit for life by over-evolving one ability is not confined to humankind.

-------------
In my opinion, first expressed in the 1970's during my Anthro B.A. studies, the universe selects against "intelligence" and consciousness.
For example, given the massive size the Universe and potential for Earth-like life, there are no blips on SETI.

If only we could go with the "natural" flow, thinking of environment first instead of our own convenience, may we remain as the leftovers of evolution
(i.e. we aren't any "pinnacle" we're the leftovers same as the rest of life on the planet!)
