Well amazing, I see lot of sense in what you posted. But I see a different set of connecting dots and assigning importance.

Progress over the long term require the cats be cats, but be fair and honest cats. And the more cats the better. If the larger proportion of cats are fair and honest, life gets better.

What philosophy appeals to the better nature of the cats and suppresses the worse natures of the sheep.

I see the evidence of many good cats. I infer from your posts you see and dwell on the negatives of the bad cats.

That is the difference in our perspectives.

“To be a cat, or a sheep, or a wolf? That is the question.”

Wolf here! Just admitting my role, yep that’s me; I scare away the cats and control sheep, all the while making plenty of money. Occasionally a human mucks with the pack, otherwise we are the alpha (top of the chain).

Sometimes around,

Watch people in airports and you will see sheep.

Huh. Interesting. I don't see sheep in the airport, personally. I see people who have flattened their affect in order to maximize efficiency and minimize sticking points, so they can move more rapidly from Point A to Point B in an environment that is best negotiated without overt and extraverted expressions of individuality.
