In other words, humans collaborating and exercising human wisdom allows them to gain dominance over creatures who are more capable of using violence.
You will note that the conversation to which I was responding consisted of three comments:
- Women are wiser than men.
2. If so, why are men dominant over women?
3. Men are dominant over women because men are more capable of using violence.
My comment was challenging the claim that brute force trumps wisdom. Your comment seems to reinforce my challenge; you state:
“…physical prowess is not the ultimate factor…”
You describe how aspects of human wisdom and the ability to collaborate allow humans to dominate creatures that could and would easily kill and devour a single human who attempted to confront one of these creatures with mere brute force.
“They don’t plot and scheme violence.”
Exactly. They are not capable of plotting and scheming. They lack the wisdom.
As you also point out, human wisdom has its dark side.
