In "To Build A Fire" by Jack London, the man is arrogant and overconfident. Of the four passages, this can be most inferred from passage C. Passage C reads:
"Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought. All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he was all right. Any man who was a man could travel alone."
This clearly shows that the man thought he was more intelligent than the older generation from the area that advised him not to travel alone when the temperature was 50 degrees below zero. It was 75 degrees below, but he thought he could outwit nature. As he was freezing to death, he realized he was wrong, but it was too late. He was overconfident and that ultimately led to his death.
In the Michio Kaku's book, Visions, he states that we are continuing to rush ahead. To prove that, he says “In the past decade more scientific knowledge has been created than in all of human history.” Since we are so advance, we don't need to be observers "of the dance of Nature". We have moved “from being passive observers of Nature to being active choreographers of Nature.” We are no longer discovering, now we are creating. Conserning future predictions Kaku says to listen to "those who create it".
