Well, I can answer that - or rather, I can answer it in the negative. We
should not believe that inner voice. Because that inner voice is the result
of Evolution, which has done a job that is only just good enough to get by,
to make us create the next generation willy-nilly. Evolution tells us to
get knocked up as quickly as possible, evolution tells us to stuff our
faces with sugary food, evolution tells us that the lines with the
arrowheads going opposite ways aren't the same length. It tells us to die
when our bile duct gets blocked, rather than have keyhole surgery. It tells
us to go blind rather than have our cataracts removed. It tells us to fall
off cliffs rather than wear glasses, to be eaten rather than create fire to
scare of predators, to starve to death rather than develop weapons.

Yes, we have silenced this "nous", this voice of unreason, this voice that
would tell us to live with whatever handicaps chance has dealt out, which
tells us to have children and then die, no matter who we have them with, no
matter how badly they fare as a result.

Because that's all evolution can see. A blind watchmaker is likely to make
defective watches that only occasionally work. We have the sense to see
further than that, and to say, no, THIS is wrong - the blind hand dealt to
us by evolution is what is wrong, and we have the nous to put it right.
