"The “might is right” pecking order heuristic for establishing interspecies dominance hierarchies creates an amoral foundation which can’t be exploited. “Might is right” could also be called “physics is right.” Wild animals which use physical power competitions to settle disputes and establish resource control authority (what we call warfare when our species performs the same activity) let physics and probability decide their pecking order for them. By using physics rather than abstract ideologies to determine the pecking order, wild animals don’t suffer from the same vulnerability that sapiens routinely suffer from: population-scale psychological abuse and exploitation."
