You know, predators vary dramatically but most that are successful are in the 15% range. Predators in packs dramatically increase their hit rate. Wolves are hard to measure today but they’re in the 15-20% range. Surprisingly domestic cats are freaking death machines, and are so successful that they don’t even eat a third of their kills.
Surprisingly, but obvious if you give it some thought, afaik the hit rate for the wild dogs of africa is around 85%. They are freaking amazing hunters in packs. The problem is that they can’t defend it, and lose something like half of their kills to bigger predators.
Now, the thing that always strikes me about cats and dogs and wolves, is that we are all ‘friends’ so to speak.
I’m trying to find any reasonable data on human hunting success rates in history, but the problem is that we expanded so fast into increasingly foreign territories that it sure looks like (from the extinction rates) it was, like cats, and packs of dogs and wolves, a pretty high success rate.

(d) but the cost disease is slow and does not interfere with the world, economic, political, social, and familial ‘velocity of cooperation’ (stuff we do). While the cost of terrorism and its ability to spread is very high (civilizational).

Steven, That reasoning is an instance of false equivalency of costs. A disease that kills even 100k will not escalate to interfere with the velocity of cooperation (externalities) – nor be curable. While terrorism can both escalate and be cured.

How much should the government pay to eliminate a disease that kills 6 Americans a year? Now, how much should it pay to eliminate terrorism? John Mueller on why we shouldn’t exaggerate the scale of terrorism in the U.S. https://t.co/6B1GGWCR72

“HE WHO WILL FIGHT WITH ME SHALL BE MY BROTHER”
OK. Say it again. Yes, I put my kin, tribe, nation, and race first – as I think all of us should. It’s the optimum strategy for everyone (really). That said, I don’t do racism. I actually hate it. I do CLASSISM.
Every problem I know of between racial and ethnic groups is due to the different sizes of the classes, and the incompatibility of culture, norms and institutions that arise in different populations due to that difference in distributions.
Only through negative eugenics do we all transcend. Negative eugenics is the cheapest, easiest, most moral, most ethical, and FASTEST means of improving the lot of mankind no matter what race, tribe, clan, or class. PERIOD.
All that is required is to prohibit more than one child under an IQ of 100, and prohibit the immigration of anyone under IQ115. Thats it. Human populations adapt very quickly to shifts in rates of reproduction. In just two to four generations any people will be lifted out of demographic and resource curses.
UNIVERSALISM MEANS GENOCIDE

The most expensive,scarce, irreplaceable, capital that people produce and consume is normative and intertemporal.The physical universe can be physically transformed.But people must be trained by immersion,education,competition, incentives,and law. A sh–hole is so b/c its people.

Non-cooperation is only preferable until Predation is Preferable.
