Gravity is a force of nature too. It’s time to reach escape velocity before the planet is engulfed by a black hole.
Interesting analogy—it would be correct if we would call our alignment with evolutionary forces achieving escape velocity. What one is doing by resisting evolutionary pressures however is constant energy expenditure while failing to reach escape velocity. Like hovering a space shuttle at a constant altitude of 10 km: no matter how much energy you brig along, eventually the boosters will run out of fuel and the whole thing comes crushing down.

I could almost agree with this so long as ‘obliterate any competitive threat then do whatever the hell we want including, as as desired, removing all need for death, reproduction and competition over resources’ is included in the scope of ‘alignment with evolutionary forces’.
