@AnarchoNinaWrites I get that, but it's deeply irrational & it takes very little intelligence - and not even that much thinking - to realize it, even if one doesn't know anything about crisis behavior. By its very nature hierarchy is thin at the top & wide at the bottom, so the odds of benefitting from it are *fart noise*. Conversely, collaboration is how we got fucking EVERYTHING.
Nihilism shouldn't appeal this broadly; see also "self-preservation".
