#WeirdThoughtExperiment:

#Humans have eliminated most of our natural predators from our spaces (e.g., big cats, etc., still exist, but are no danger to us as a species).

Since #nature abhors a vacuum, that means the human species has become more specialized to fill the now-vacant predator niches.

I.E., increasing swaths of #humanity seem to exist for no other reason than to prey on other humans.

#War is only the most obvious example of this. #Financialscams are another form of predation.
