as is competition
in a darwinian survival of the fittest natural selection sense
human beings are fundamentally shark bait w/o mutual aid
human beings could not exist in nature w/o mutual aid
mutual aid is society and the foundation of civilization
man as an individual is nothing and could not survive in nature
man as a collective unit in the form of a tribe, society or civilization
can create science, a modern economy and harness nature
provide food shelter and clothing
competition and mutual aid are the dual natures of man
we ignore either at our peril
