    They might! Animals don’t always value intelligence, they value other things like “Who is my dad?”

    Who decided the choices available again? The pied piper strategy started almost a decade ago. If you can’t beat the opponent you chose for yourself, maybe you are not any smarter.

    Weren’t there stories about sheep following their leaders off cliffs?

    And don’t lions win territories by being more suicidal than their opponent?

    Animals are quite similar to humans. We’re all just trying to survive with whatever we have at hand.

    “According to Darwin’s Origin of Species, it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself.”

    This is just objectively wrong.

    Did you not bother to do a google search of this shower thought before rasterizing it into an image and posting?

      They don’t have to be the smartest or even necessarily the strongest. But imagine a troop of gorillas following a gorilla without, seemingly, a single useful trait. He needs them to even survive, takes advantage of all of them, pretends like he’s tough, takes all of the resources, isn’t remotely physically fit and won’t release the Epstein files because he’s in them. You would not see that in the wild.

        Yeah, but you would see one lead the pack who knows how to socially manipulate them and play off others weaknesses.

      The largest silverback takes a look at the written question.

      “If hooman come with small bunch of banana from east and other hooman come with large banana bunch from west, who get the banana?”

      He will not lead the pack today. He will need to come back better prepared if he wants to stand a chance to challenge again.
