  1. That is more vacuous than space. It sounds like something a wannabe tough guy who wants to feel like they're living in the fucking jungle back in 10,000 BC would believe in. It's only SURVIVAL OF THAAA FEETEST!!! until someone walks into your home and beats you close to death and intends to rape any female there and kill all the children, along with helping themselves to any of your belongings on the way out. I'm sure at that point if you saw me or a police officer standing 5 feet away from you, just watching as the invader beats you to an inch of your life, you would no longer be such a bold believer in that reductive broscience, fantasy roleplay term of "survial of the fittest".

  2. Correction - We have innate sense of fairness >>> Most of us have an innate sense of fairness, others don't, due to genetic factors. Then later in life, many of us will diminish our sense of fairness to OTHERS (while Mostly retaining it in regards to ourselves, sometimes intensified), due to the evolutionary pressures humans feel within relatively more complex ecosystems, which we call "civilization", the irony of the word says a lot. Side note - Sure the humans who do become more "unfair", often CAN stop the transition, but don't. Either A- due to lack of moral/self-preserving motivation, or B- due to pure ignorance/unawareness of the change within their mind. Basically, what I want to state, is: 1- A MAJORITY of humans do have an innate (nature) sense of fairness, Like most other Mammals do. But, certain events or pressures (nurture -> these are reductive terms but get the message through) in their lives can reduce the amount of fairness they show toward others, especially those distant from their immediate surroundings/social sphere. 2- Entities that make Large sums of "money", will often either have to UNDERPAY the people who produce/process the services they make money out of (usually called employees), or OVERCHARGE for the service/good/utility/etc. Basically, someone is going to inevitably get "fucked over" for a slightly higher profit margin. This is all a fragment of the evolutionary process, but unfortunately, sentient individuals are the test subjects, and there is no opting out completely, one can only adapt so far as their genetic and environmental potential combined, allows. Along with the knowledge they end up bumping into.

  3.  @thstroyur  People who eat "caviar", are still just eating a bunch of eggs that come out of fish pussy lol. Most apes are so desperate to FEEL, rather than become "superior/greater than other apes", that pretty much any made up action can suffice. Like mahogany yachts with diamond doorknobs. Not sure what object is worth being eternally detached from reality lmao.
