"The action of making art is an act in opposition to the Darwinian drive towards the survival of the fittest. Art is not forged by the instinct to survive; rather it emerges from the impulse to give a gift."

I like this, and find some truth here. But then, often art is also created to get laid, which is as base a Darwinian function as possible. So sometimes art is a gift, sometime it is reciprocally altruistic, and sometimes it is just the expression of an irreducible mental drive. I think its validity is unchanged in any of those cases, though.
