I dont undrstnd how ppl can look at a forest & see all of nature living in communal harmony. evrytng in the forest is competing over limited resources & to lose is to die. It is the freest market
Nature demonstrates that everything in constant self interested free for all life-and-death competition over limited resources makes some spectacular results over time.
If it was possible to quantify the amount of suffering in nature in terms we could understand it would be extremely large, consider myself lucky to be born a human of all things.
It is seriously constrained by only being able to mold what came before, but wow what it has been able to do, bats flying with their fingers is my favorite adaption over time.
