@Sui @brinazarski Only people could so arrogant as to call the behaviors any sufficiently complex social species develops "pretty retarded", and think that they somehow know better than millions of years of evolution.

What's actually retarded is that you think "productivity" is a value that matters, much less one we should pursue at the expense of anything else. That's really why we're in this mess, not tribalism. What human or ecological need is there for productivity?
