Reminds me of how pelicans will raise two chicks and then kick the weakest of the two out of the nest and devote all future resources to foster the stronger of the two. YCombinator as convergent evolution, I guess.
there is a youtube video ( pls don’t watch ) that gave me nightmares for days on end. i had completely forgotten about those pelicans and now you had to bring it up again in the comments. the little pelican had a broken leg. It was limping, so mom and brother together pushed it out of the nest. Very cruel.
So similar to companies.
Nature has a tendency to ignore human ideas of justice and ethics.
The will of the stronger is the primary “law” of nature.
Im guessing that pelicans, being predators, are probably much smarter.
Not pelicans. Pelicans are dumb.
