I always liked the analogy with monkeys in the zoo. Imagine there are 10 monkeys in a cage. Every day you drop in 20 oranges. After a while you realise that one monkey is sitting on a pile of oranges, hoarding them. He can’t even eat all the oranges, while some monkeys go hungry. No one would think: “man that must be one smart monkey.” You would think something is seriously wrong with that guy.

…after a couple weeks there’s a dead monkey and fermented oranges though. We could learn from monkeys
Yeah that was kinda my thought. I’m pretty sure the other monkeys would beat the ever living F*** out of the hoarder-monkey.
Even if he was the biggest, baddest monkey there a bunch of them would be smart enough to band together and reclaim food
