In the war of the wolves and the sheep, what if the sheep started winning?
Are human wolves a keystone species of the human race? If they were hunted to extinction, leaving no one to winnow the mediocre mob, what would happen to humanity? The narrator in the movie Idiocracy was on point when he said, “Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.”
The same is true of strength. Without the strong, the weak will reproduce more and more and eventually there will only be weakness, mediocrity, an inability – an impossibility – to achieve anything great and glorious.
