From there – cooperation because it multiplies agency through aligning agents, opposed to predation and parasitism which reduces net agency, provides the only strategy (application of natural phenomena) which has an unlimited time horizon.
Predation ends when the prey have been consumed – the more successful the predator the more likely the prey supply is reduced to zero; the more successful the parasite the more degradation of the hosts health.

PACKS VS HERDS
By Brandon Hayes
(worth repeating)
Everybody knows Occam’s Razor; when you take that razor to human behavior and cut it in half, this is what emerges: Packs and Herds.
Packs [masculine, thinking bias, eugenic (selects for specialty)]
“Acceptance to a pack requires contribution; you’re good only for your value.”
-vs-
Herds [feminine, feeling bias, dysgenic (selects for conformity)]
“Acceptance to a herd requires only blending in; you’re good only for camouflage.”

No more NAXALT arguments; we all know, not all X are like that! But, you don’t get to boil-down a trend to a single data point and use that datum to disprove said trend; that’s called lying. This means stereotypes are accurate, as they with-stand the market of ideas, and behavioral evidence (data) to counter the stereotypical outcomes isn’t mounting.
This shouldn’t upset anyone. Having a bare-bones (a skeleton) framework like this is incredible. The insights that can come from proper frameworks can’t be overstated.
*h/t Curt Doolittle as there aren’t any others (that I know of AND I look, hard [link educators below if you have suggestions]) that produce as much intellectual output publicly; and I see no others fostering as much intelligent debate or facilitating as much actual learning as he. [Arguably Jordan Peterson, but Peterson has been slow to move his ideas forward; Maps of Meaning still being his under-rated masterwork and still being explained {This Pack/Herd split can be gleaned from that work as well as Erich Neumann’s:The Origins and History of Consciousness} but it’s not made explicit; the work meshes nicely together.]
Curt has also closed holes in personality by concretizing the mapping onto brain structure/function: https://propertarianism.com/…/human-brain-regions-functions/
“We ought not destroy competing packs to benefit the herds. Herds can’t respond efficiently to rapidly changing environments; what you get instead of problem solving is panic.
Panic among animals shortens their time horizons (they make quicker decisions less thought through) for shorter term gains. This mistake accumulates until the day of reckoning comes about. The day all of your “not planning for the future” comes back to haunt you.
Strong feelings are not the equivalent to being correct. There isn’t a feel good substitute for truth; no matter how much we’d like there to be!”
I abhor virtue signaling; scoring cheap points offends my being; life isn’t a game (although easier if framed as such). The best version of everyone else makes a better world for ME! I am acting in my self-interest. I have been PM’d many times (warning of my offences) and blocked many more; this is good, I prefer to know where people stand; because many are standing on intellectual IEDs (emotional explosion is right under the surface). I intentionally use Facebook to incite (there’s an insight joke in there I’m sure). Invite ALL people to the table [humans do some of there deepest bonding over food {and information is meta-food}] and share with them.

https://www.jstor.org/stable/20143265?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contentsIntuition, Functional Responses and the Formulation of Predator-Prey Models When There Is a Large Disparity in the Spatial Domains of the Interacting Species
P. Inchausti and S. Ballesteros
Journal of Animal Ecology
Vol. 77, No. 5 (Sep., 2008), pp. 891-897
—“Abstract
1. The disparity of the spatial domains used by predators and prey is a common feature of many terrestrial avian and mammalian predatory interactions, as predators are typically more mobile and have larger home ranges than their prey.
2. Incorporating these realistic behavioural features requires formulating spatial predator-prey models having local prey mortality due to predation and its spatial aggregation, in order to generate a numerical response at timescales longer than the local prey consumption. Coupling the population dynamics occurring at different spatial scales is far from intuitive, and involves making important behavioural and demographic assumptions. Previous spatial predator-prey models resorted to intuition to derive local functional responses from non-spatial equivalents, and often involve unrealistic biological assumptions that restrict their validity.
3. We propose a hierarchical framework for deriving generic models of spatial predator-prey interactions that explicitly considers the behavioural and demographic processes occurring at different spatial and temporal scales.
4. The proposed framework highlights the circumstances wherein static spatial patterns emerge and can be a stabilizing mechanism of consumer-resource interactions.”—

Not only is ethnocentrism the optimum group evolutionary strategy, but duplicity (parasitism) is the optimum outgroup strategy, since it avoids the cost of conquest and replacement.
