BenRayfieldTue, Nov 8, 2011 You're right. I categorize the possibilities by where they lead, so there's 2. If we continue acting like animals, it must lead to a small group of the new kind of Tigers (which "eat you by Evolving systems that move valuable things away from you and toward themselves") dominating the rest. If we create more of the behaviors that caused Humans to rise above tigers in the food chain, which means to start acting like a group of 7 billion people, we can rise above the new kind of Tigers the same way. The problem is most Humans are lower than a small group of Humans in the food chain, and that is clearly not going to be allowed to continue.
