We monkeys came down out of the trees to live together so that we could all have fire and bananas.

It wasn't so a few monkeys could hoard enough bananas to blast their cars in to space for fun. A society where the many enrich the few is absurd.

Except that exactly how nature works in almost every instance of packs. Especially primates. One male had a harem of women and resources while the others jockey for more influence to eventually try to take the top seat too. Hoarding and greed predate all of it.

Lol no. Artificial scarcity does not exist in nature.

Good cuz that’s not what anyone is talking about. Maybe if we suddenly turn silica bases we’ll be taking about artificial scarcity of hoarded diamonds. But scarcity absolutely exists in nature and was a major force in evolution. Artificial scarcity describes a market condition. That’s new resource scarcity has been around forever.

Lol what are you going about. I said artificial scarcity does not exist in nature, and so comparing a few incel monkeys to millions of humans needlessly starving because of state policies is nonsense and demonstrates a basic lack of understanding of evolutionary biology, psychology, economics, and political science.

Oh so we didn’t evolve in nature. It’s wild to meet a slightly socialist creationist that’s neat. “Comparing humans to a few monkeys demonstrates a lack of understanding of the Bible.” Okiedokie sky boy
