You are a lot more advanced than “only animals”. :) We dont see horses chatting on Facebook.
Sometimes humans excuse very bad behavior by saying animals are doing it, which is very silly to me. You are a human being, not a horse. The only question is, how will you use your abilities that the horse doesnt have? For good or for bad.
Humans competing with eachother is both the source of financial growth and also the destruction of the planet at the same time. If humans cant be smarter, we will get extinct, which is very fair by nature. We have everything we need to be smarter and if our greed over paper money kills us, so be it.
That’s not true. The biological world isn’t fundamentally based on competition.
Competition inside one species actually is decremental to their survival. The optimal strategy for members of a species is cooperation, especially when that reduces scarcity.
B) A beneficial system for anyone involved. Nature is a cruel system does not optimize for individual organisms. It optimizes for the basic machinery of evolution, maximizing suffering if it’s beneficial to the continued existence of the genes responsible. Why give a fuck about genes when your life has unnecessary suffering as a result of them?
Natural =/= good, nor does what should be true arise from how things are. There’s no answer for what is good out there, only clues on how you could achieve what you decide is right.
But this predates humans. We are also only animals.

You make it sound as if it’s universal. It’s neither universal in human societies nor in other parts of the animal kingdom

For those lower on the pecking order, maybe. There are plenty of species where a few dominate the many of their own kind, however.
Notice how that is not:
A) A universal strategy, or…

And the leaders gets killed if those lower on the pecking order don’t like them anymore.
