"We don't see primates building shitty capitol buildings and making legislation."

I dunno, Washington D.C. seems to be nothing more than a shitshow run by primates.

Very good insight to why the individual is more important than the collective. Sometimes the collective will have the mentally of "for the greater good" or "cut the finger off to save the hand." Eventually, the only thing left is a small group or even one individual of the greater good or you scarifice everything to only have the head left. At the point there is only small group or one individual who benefits.
