Darwin maintains in his revolutionary theory of the evolution that adaptation to changes has been the main survival mechanism for millions of years, being able to adapt to a different environment or that your body creates defense mechanisms to deal with new viruses and bacteria are essential elements for survival. This year our body, our mind, our society has undergone an unprecedented survival test, which exposed everything that is simply unnatural about our unequal access to health, the unnatural of our consumption and the definitively antisocial of our design of society. This year the weakest did not die, nor did the strongest survive, this year we revealed as the species that will be in charge of ending everything because of its individualism and predatory greed.
