Do you believe in the "the law of the jungle"? Why or why not?

[HawkPerception]

"The weak are meat, and the strong eat."

"Survival of the fittest"

"The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."

Yes

No

[OfMiceandMen]

Yes, I do. It's natures law, only the weak shall survive.

[HawkPerception]

Only the weak? You mean the strong?

[OfMiceandMen]

My bad, yes. The weak only survives by running its ass off!

[Kaneki05]

It's not a belief if factually true but yes.

[DrPepper12]

A likely untrue attribution but a great parable...

Someone once asked Margaret Mead what she considered to be the first evidence of civilization. She answered: a human thigh bone with a healed fracture found in an archaeological site 15,000 years old. Why not tools for hunting or religious artifacts or primitive forms of communal self-governance?

Mead points out that for a person to survive a broken femur the individual had to have been cared for long enough for that bone to heal. Others must have provided shelter, protection, food and drink over an extended period of time for this kind of healing to be possible.

The great anthropologist Margaret Mead suggests that the first indication of human civilization is care over time for one who is broken and in need, evidenced through a fractured thigh bone that was healed.

To an extent yes! Way to many useless instagramers fitness people and medical pretend experts and beauty brain washers online!

We need less people speaking nonsense like truth!

Not even going near politics and that awful mess! In closing the boxing genetic testing! Can't even call it what it is these days!

Civilization is mostly about surpassing the law of the jungle

[HawkPerception]

It's remained the same. The strong has just changed from the physically strong to the ones with knowledge and money.

[RavVid]

Oh I could see that. But the physically strong or people who were just willing to kill/main ended up with the money in the past. Overall better with knowledge capturing the money and to a far degree they created the money.

[Dongie]

No. I don't believe in that. Although I have encountered it many times. It's always nice to see the tables turned on those type of people.

[HawkPerception]

How would the tables turn if the weaker ones don't have the strength to overtake the strong?

[Dongie]

A person comes along and sees it. They take their side.

[HawkPerception]

That's still strength though. Strength in numbers. An army of ants can kill some grasshoppers easily.

[Dongie]

Yep. Until there are no bully's, we'll need the occasional bullies bully.

[Dongie]

You know, not only muscle defines a bully in this the age of online social sites.

[HawkPerception]

I'm aware man. They say knowledge is power. In this day and age strength is all about knowledge and money.

[Dongie]

That's it, alright. Also, computer needs become 10 feet tall and bulletproof on some social sites. I've been here since February, I think, and I mean, I just fell off in the middle here. I was very rude and nasty because that's how it was on other sites. I looked around and saw more civil persons. Then this punk bowed up in my face, asking me what I was doing here. I returned the sentiment. He didn't say anything. It may have been Nathan Davis, but I'm not sure.

[Dongie]

Not needs but *nerds

[England4eva]

Is this in reference to human society?

[exitseven]

Yes, Darwinism is a real thing.
