Individualism is so dumb. If humans were lone wolfs, we wouldn’t have microchips, steam engines, the written word, or even language.
Plenty of animals are stronger, quicker, have better sight, better memory, etc. We’re definitely the most dominant large animal, but only because of cooperation. You might be able to survive alone in the woods, but we need others to thrive.
No doubt. All that happens to us is related to the systems that surround us, and our accidental position within them. Individuals always carry some accountability for choices, but most choice with the strongest effects is social. Punishing individuals for structural problems is a collective sickness.
