i always found the idea of taxes interesting like people that work harder (or got more lucky) have to give money to people that work less hard (or got less lucky) i wonder if there is an equivalent among other animals like does the big lion give meats to his weaker bros? i guess yes it's kinda expecting (unconsciously) a [[Reciprocation|reciprocation]] from the other players like our [[Selfish gene]] just manipulate us to optimise to pass the gene to the next generation, and if you have teammates to support you in this direction it's better you're more likely to give meat to your close environment, just as you pay taxes in your country but not the neighbor country because your environment has more likely similar genes, or can more likely help passing your genes so is it something again based on this fundamental, [[Richard Dawkins - The Selfish Gene|The Selfish Gene]]? #philosophy #selfish-gene #evolution
