These are the laws of the jungle. If we allow the "Rationalist" plague from Silicon Valley to spread we will all be in more peril than anyone could have imagined. This is what their ideals.lead to, might makes right.
These are not the laws of the jungle, these are the laws of the most "civilized" cities in Western European culture.
The law of the jungle is not a law, it is a spontaneous cooperation of organisms that coordinate in extremely complex flexible ways to produce an incredible efficiency and stability. The laws of the jungle do not always advantage the strongest, most traditionally powerful creatures capable of dispensing the most violence, and in one sense jungles can be thought of as environments that tend to select against that in favor of more specific adaptation strategies.
The jungle as a metaphor for brutality, chaos or regression of humanity to authoritarianism is steeped in racism and honestly it is a metaphor that holds little utility for us these days given how vitally important it is to learn from the jungle... the ACTUAL fucking jungle.
In a related note, monkeys are NOT LESS EVOLVED than humans are, when we say "monkey brain" we are just insulting ourselves by choosing to believe a little bit more in the lie that evolution is a simple continuum of intelligence that humans beat all the other animals at by getting to the top.
I know this isn't the point, but people use these metaphors a lot and it is problematic in that it obscures the truth and people's intuition for it.
