This is an interesting point and I'd like to address why I think it's not exactly applicable here.
We're not at war. Nor are we involved in a "business as usual" corporate struggle. In a sense, two cultures have clashed during our initial introduction, but the circumstances of that clash resulted in an entanglement. At this point I think everyone realizes this and wants to untie the knot and that's requiring communication, not survival of the fittest.
This is why I love this place. Long ago humanity unleashed its imagination into the real world and it's been a raging dumpster fire ever since.
This event has shown that we're learning how to build up our society so it can balance our civilization.
UPDATE: I just learned that we’ve lost 2 witnesses from the top 20 leaving us at 8. Apparently, I spoke too soon, although I stand by my initial assessment. Justin is still lashing but the exchanges seem to get it. We’re still doing this.
