Want to know what I think like the best case scenario is?
Yes.
Have you heard the
The idea of like, if you had 10 dogs in a house, if you have like 10 dogs in a house and there's a pile of food, those dogs, and they're just on their own, they're going to fight over that scarce resource, which is the food.
There's going to be one big dog who's going to be the number one, but it's constantly fighting.
They're, you know, wounded.
Some are dying.
And that's not a great situation, but they are eating because there's a big pile of food.
Just some eat better than others.
Now, if a human goes into that house and be like, okay, hey guys, I bought you 10 cages.
You're all going to be in the cages, but I'm going to give you food every day and all the water you need.
You're going to be able to go to the vet.
We're going to go on walks every day.
And they'll basically helps distribute those resources.
Those dogs objectively, even the top dog are happier because the resources are being allocated in a way because there's someone who can kind of map the whole situation.
Our best hope is for like a benevolent overlord.
In this sense, someone who comes to the house and can help us balance the scarce resources or just create enough resources that they aren't even scarce.
And the reason we do that for dogs is we think they're cute and we think they have value and we just have to hope for them.
Yeah.
Like if you could, if putting sand in your microwave was an A-bomb.
