Hold up, is that guy suggestion we just fight or kill to take what we want like an animal would?

He contends that all the clay on Earth was claimed long ago. The competition for resources now unfolds according to rules set by individuals, groups or organizations. In some cases, this struggle is even more intense than animal behavior, particularly when it occurs at the organized state level.

Clearly you haven't seen much of animals.

Some are doing warfare. But we are much better in that.

Please go watch a documentary or two. If you’re looking at your device and just about to flush the toilet right now, you have very little to compare to as a species.

I assumed he meant we shit everywhere and do away with doctors while we let parasites eat our brain. No half assing this. Quick: let’s chuck all our devices immediately and eat nits.

I mean, I'd totally fight and kill a billionaire if it was by the rule of the jungle, since that way I can't be incarcerated.

The Billionaire has better odds, tbh. He has more guns, cars, fuel, connections, etc. You'll have to fight off all his armed guards and family first. If the power structure of mankind stopped working, a whole new one would pop up overnight. One much more brutal where your value is not decided with your input taken into account.

Not under the rule of the jungle.

In the jungle, you are alone. The people you step over don't owe anything to you.

Fight a gorrilla or a lion and see if all the others just stand back and watch you attack their boi. The rule of the jungle protects those who have immediate access to resources.
