I was expanding about the pareto principle concept which applies to not only humans, but everything that has hierarchies or distribution in it—computers, animals, money it applies...not only us. I do not say I agree with inequalities of distribution of wealth, resource, selection etc. But knowing it does exist in varying fields is very helpful especially in constructing better arguments.
As you may have found out by now, I’m sometimes a bit sceptical about such ‘scientific principles’ - also you may have seen what I hinted about before, that there have been human societies which didn’t have hierarchies, so it’s not totally not impossible.
I have seen records that even lobsters 350 million years ago share the same neuropharmacology with serotonin—the transmitter in our neurons for determining dominance hierarchies...that is actually as old as the first trees in the planet. The problem of inequality has been with us forever. Not only in humans—but nature has it too.
wow, that sounds really interesting, the lobsters evidence! Though if you ask most people they’ll probably say that humans are ‘something more’ than just animals, be they either god’s images or just rational beings (suggesting that other beings are less or not rational).
Yes Haris, the hard problem of inequality in nature, animals and us—existed a third of a billion years ago. That is why it’s not human only problem. I really do not have a viable one size fits all solution for inequality..
Hi Haris,
