Marine and the Hippie 210424 S01E11- On the Lion and the Antelopes

The Marine and the Hippie

On this episode, we discuss the concept of the Lion and the Antelopes. It begins with a discussion about the need to provide help to the weak antelopes in the herd to help them avoid being food for the lion, but moves to the idea that when we try to describe society in these terms, we run into problems because the "antelopes" in society do not act like a herd, they do not want to be a part of the herd, and they all see themselves as the lion. All of these features of our society privilege the lion by making it easier for the lion to devour any member of the herd he likes.
Until we can rebuild the herd, which serves the function of reducing our individual marginal probability of being caught, we still need to work to make sure that we are working together to help the weaker antelopes to survive the lion attack.
