Interest

Every species has different values, in fact every human appreciates or needs things more than others. Maybe mating is the most important part of our lives, but then why don’t we kill the competition? Killing the competition would only make the species unstable, some fighting is necessary, but depending on the organism’s traits there is a different strategy for all of us. We might not be looking for “the good of the species” (pg 67) but instead our personal goals in different ways. We need to understand and have respect “towards the individual that has beaten us” (pg 82) and as we find our place in the species we can still look for our personal goals. Something like retreating is good if you know your going to loose, it all depends on what you want and how you can achieve it. Humans don’t kill each other for mates, in our case its better to work together in a certain way even though competition exists. We cannot reproduce by ourselves so we look towards the common good of our population.
