This seems to tie into those 'survival of the fittest' claims of the Social Darwinists as an explanation for the distribution of wealth and power in human societies. In reality biological evolution is just 'survival of the fit enough' and is far more complex than these simplistic concepts." Let's say we rephrase the question along another line: "Is Cooperation for Losers?" "Ayn Rand says yes. It's a brutal struggle of all against all for domination and power, and cooperation is only a trick you use to infiltrate and destroy your rivals in the quest for global domination and ultimate power!" I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of these arguments are really about the fact that humans evolved from primate ancestors whose social structure was based around alpha dominance in small tribal groups, and that's really the motivating force behind a whole lot of people in business and politics. Unconscious drives and so on.
