Our planet tries to kill us, we fight back, animals in the wild and some captivated, treat us as prey until we become the apex-predator. The question arises, what made some humans more elite that others and why did society separate them from the rest of the status quo. Was it strength? leadership? education or knowledge? Where did corruption emerge? Was it through greed concerning resources?
Looking at the 'elite, the bureaucrats, we can see they are far from the Apex-Predators or the persistent hunter, of prehistoric times, today, most if not all; couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag and yet! We allow them to take control, stealing assets to make themselves rich and live a particular lifestyle. Are they Predators or 'paper-tigers' of bureaucracy, or just basically verbal bullies placed within positions of power?
Another way of looking at predators and prey is imagining aliens observing humans as prey from a safe environment, observing a destructive or active geological planet, could we class this as being observers watching what they consider as primates or animals in a zoo?
Are aliens the prey, apex-predators or bureaucratic educationalists?
