11. Steve P.:
So you’re saying Ayn Rand shouldn’t be listened to because:
1. She has personal experience with the wealth redistribution and its aftermath that she writes about?
2. She’s not a scientist?
3. Her ideas and the situations she describes are scary?
as for #2, joining a pack is often in a creature’s self interest as you have already highlighted a few reasons. Building on that sometimes a Beta pair will split off from a pack to form one of their own pack because it is in their self interest regarding food, mating and power. Lower pairs and males will often do the same. Its sometimes better to be on your own.
