Evolutionary biology: competition makes sense for the individual; cooperation is better for the group/species/whole.

David Sloan an evolutionary biologist has determined that competition only makes sense when the unit of evolution is considered the individual. When the focus shifts to the level of a group or species COOPERATION is the better model; not only for surviving but for thriving.
there is SYMBIOSIS in every level of living things not only to compete in a ZERO-SUM game, but to MUTUALLY INTERACT with the creatures and systems upon which your survival depends

I still think Americans should have a reality TV show where they fight in an arena for healthcare and housing.

@GeistInTheMachine that might be congress already; but yes I’d think it breaking out into fist fights would be far more constructive. Currently it seems to be who gets the most “donor money”

@GeistInTheMachine I’d like to see it remain “civilized”. duels, sword fights, maybe jousting?
America has bills to pay! think of the ticket sales and ad revenue!

@exchrist Actually, I do think you're on to something with the sword fighting, too ⚔.

@GeistInTheMachine plus we need fresh members in congress so if they kill each other it would speed things along! Creative solutions to “age old” problems

@GeistInTheMachine maybe any members of congress that abstain from a vote must duel instead?

@GeistInTheMachine think of the ad revenue! America’s debt needs to be paid
