This is how all countries operate. Big fish eats little fish.

Is that true?

LOL do you expect me to say "no"?

Once you stop looking at your neighbors kids as "theirs" and seeing them as "ours" there isn't much drive to compete with them.

I'm not talking about an ideology or culture, I'm talking about how biological life functions. You'll never see your neighbours' kids as carrying your own genes and your genes are the primary concern of the biological drives that underlie human behaviour.

O_o

In many, many ways. For example, if I take your food, you're more likely to starve and I'm less likely to starve. You'll be less healthy and hence less attractive as a mate and I'll be more healthy and hence more attractive as a mate.

if greed is the primary motivation for human beings, how could the vast majority of human existence have been in hunter-gatherer societies in which cooperation was the most valuable behavior?

Co-operation doesn't conflict with greed. Humans can and must co-operate within society to survive but humans are also motivated to do everything they can to screw over others to ensure their genes have the greatest chance of propagating, as long as screwing over others doesn't threaten survival.

FYI, a very much older Jellico, now an Admiral, appears in Star Trek: Prodigy voiced by Ronny Cox himself.
