Which probably means being at the top of the social hierarchy in such a population is even more valuable.
- altcognito 5y agoValuable how? I realize that altruism is an unpopular concept, but it exists nature and works quite well when civilization is placed under the greatest survival pressures. Selfishness is a luxury humans indulge in because those pressures are quite weak in modern days.
- 8jef 5y agoBeing at the top of the social hierarchy in a cooperative environment is not necessarily valuable, probably not even pleasurable, at all. Because true cooperation can either exist without a top, when the experience is mostly p2p, or with a benevolent top painstakingly at the service of the entire community. So if your commentary meant valuable as in dedicated to the point that the individuals at the top become shit sponges for everyone else and do die as saints or martyrs, then yes, it is very valuable. That being said, it depends on where you put value in life.
