“La evolución ha supuesto que nuestros lóbulos prefrontales sean demasiado reducidos, nuestras glándulas suprarrenales demasiado abultadas y nuestros órganos reproductores parezcan diseñados por un equipo de incompetentes; esta receta, por sí sola o combinada con otros ingredientes, tiene muchas probabilidades de traducirse en cierta infelicidad y ocasionar algunos transtornos.”

― God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
“Vemos un insecto palo gigante y un grupo de mariposas cuyas alas parecen hojas de rosal. Entonces me viene a la memoria un artículo sobre mimetismo que leí de joven en la Enciclopedia Espasa, donde se decía que algunos gusanos adoptaban la forma de un excremento de pájaro para evitar que esos mismos pájaros los devorasen. Me pregunté entonces, y me pregunto ahora, si vale la pena conservar la vida a cambio de parecer una mierda. Mantengo hacia el mimetismo una actitud ambivalente. De un lado, me fascina; de otro, me parece uno de los recursos más humillantes de la naturaleza. Hay otro bicho que cobra, para defenderse de sus depredadores, el aspecto de un cadáver recubierto de moho. Están a salvo, sí, pero a qué precio. «No te signifiques, hijo», decían las madres de mi época cuando nos veían salir de casa con la barba y la trenca. No significarse quería decir pasar inadvertido o ser tomado por una caca o por un cadáver en estado de descomposición. Lo importante era que no se fijaran en ti porque, una vez localizado, podías servir de alimento a especies más violentas que la tuya. Había en el servicio militar un sargento que aconsejaba lo mismo que las madres, aunque de un modo más plástico: «Los que estén gordos que adelgacen y los que estén delgados que engorden».
No parezcas árabe, en fin, ni negro, ni chino, ni anarquista, ni siquiera socialdemócrata. No te signifiques. Mimetízate. Adelgaza si estás gordo y engorda si estás flaco. No has elegido el mejor momento para ser distinto, muchacho, qué pretendes. Procura no parecer ni sí ni no, ni carne ni pescado. Disimula las ideas, no disientas, no te signifiques, no destaques. Si a un insecto no le parece mal que lo confundan con una rama seca, por qué ese empeño tuyo en parecer alguien. Haz como que bajas las escaleras cuando las subes y como que las subes cuando las bajas. No levantes la voz, guarda las apariencias, adelgaza, engorda, ven, vete, sal, entra. Sobrevive, en fin, finge ser una caca, un palo, una corteza. Y en casa a las diez”
