because just like the deer he mentioned that have to break off their overdeveloped antlers to survive, even if in painful agony, our lives are made up of denying ourselves of that which nature assigned us: thinkers. our lives are made up of denying that which makes us unique as a species. we're anomolies.

This only becomes a problem when you start glorifying nature's creation, it's random and senseless, as I'm sure Zapffe would agree since he was an atheist, and things not being in the right place has no narrative value. If you had to have an antromorphic conception of nature, wouldn't you see it as a victory that it tried to kill us and we defeated it?

How can consciousness be overdeveloped? Either there is one or there isn't

A lot of idiots think consciousness is intelligence and awareness/ability to understand and comprehend. People use terms like "raised my consciousness" all the time. It's like putting more things on your computer monitor and saying "I raised the on-ness of my monitor"
