Key insights
Let’s look at emergence tower (atom → molecule → .. → cell → organ system → animal → pack/tribe) and consider where independent lifeforms live
amoebas are on a cell level
ants live on a pack level
spiders live on single animals level
humans live somewhere between ants and spiders and can move up and down as a response to external threat
Evolutionary pressure prefers inner tribe kindness and outer kind ruthlessness
Totally ruthless people die to inner tribe competition
Totally kind people die to intertribe competition
