Successful communities are built around Reproduction Strategies.

There Are Two Reproduction Strategies:

1. Small Egg Gambit – an individual placing all of their energy into producing a large number of small eggs and letting chance decide the rest. (Spiders)
2. Large Baby Gambit – individuals having a small number of babies and putting all of their energy into protecting and nurturing them until they can take care of themselves. (Bears)

Examples of sustainable communities built around the Small Egg Gambit are bees, ants, termites, and the like. These communities work because only one member of the community reproduces, freeing up the rest to dedicate themselves to the eggs of their mother.

There are no examples of a sustainable large, complex community built around the Large Baby Gambit. There are small, simple communities, like wolves and gorillas, but no sustainable large communities. The problem is that individuals that use the Large Baby Gambit are hard-wired to put their own children first. It is very difficult to build a complex community around such instinctive selfishness.

History is littered with kings and despots trying to make people fit into a beehive community structure. It can never work; two different reproduction strategies. Today we watch this again as corporations and governments try to use drugs and technology to make humans act more like bees. It will be another tragic failure.

• Capitalism is an economic structure that benefits individuals who use the Large Baby Gambit, but do not support a sustainable large community. Capitalists are like wolves.
• Socialism is natural to bees, but not to humans. Each individual would have to work very hard against their own instincts to build and maintain such a community.
• To build a complex community around the Large Baby Gambit we have to come up with something new.
