Simplification = psyop. My theory is that, like cats, who have been clinically proven to be psychopaths, the elite individuals operate out of Chaotic Evil. Cheetahs, for example, lead solitary lives, but a neighborhood scratchingpost informs all the cheetahs in the vicinity who is in heat, has infants, is in full blush of health, in rut, etc. They don't need a herd animal doctrine of conspiracy. This is THE. "Invisible Hand" which rules Adam Smith economics.
I like your quiz, it was fun and made me think.
Definitely something to think about. Though, I have seen some instances of animals acting far differently from what scientists tell us to expect.
I'm glad you liked it. Many people did, so I may consider doing something similar again in future.
Indeed, in my opinion, science is a powerful tool, but in the hands of tools, it only empowers tool-ery. Aka jackassery. As a philosopher, and a wannabe sacred fool! my thrust is always to dismantle rusty belief systems.
