...there is little reason for anyone other than the alpha to be able to think" - from original posting'.
I disagree with this conclusion: The wolf born the weakest may have to use the most cunning to survive among his pack. He/she might need the most understanding of pack dynamics. If you're a strong enough wolf you might need little brains. I think the world and it's scientific ideas are held together by the weakest people but with equal brains, not the strongest. I don't think the greatest scientists are known for their prowess or beauty. I think the ugly man has to please more than the beautiful one. But I'm sure you want to talk about all these mindless people watching TV. Truth is they've chosen the better part, we have to do the housework.
