To me the message "of survival of the sufficient" and the Darwinian theory of survival of the fittest sound like the same concept. The editing he lists off of "reprints, new versions, remainders, dust bin copies and discards" are the same as offspring, mutations, and those who do not survive. These are all the same concepts and ideas that were represented in survival of the fittest but just stated differently. For example the quote "if you remain you have been edited to some degree" is just another way of, if survive and thrive you have been passed down genes or yours own genes mutated that are best fit in the environment. So I do not see the difference.
Now had they said that the ''survival of the sufficient" was true today but based upon the fact that modern medicine cure and aids in the survival of humans that would have otherwise dies, then it would have made more sense. Because biologically speaking every time we enter a doctors office or hospital for treatment or get some kind of medication, we are cheating death. Had we lived in a more natural world
