The irony in this piece is very powerful. He presents the cold hard nature of natural selection on the serengheti as an ideal environment to find a filter for weakness and you're supposed to think of this as some horrific and unfeeling environment that you don't want to be part of.
At the same time, he's applying a mental selective pressure to the human mind and creating a heaven that is equivalent to the environment of the serengheti.
