American Hawk, African Hyena, Chinese Wild Boar

Sometimes, human wisdom is really too much to compliment. Human beings pride themselves on being unprecedentedly advanced, intelligent beings, the most intelligent and important beings on earth, and the protagonists of earthly creatures. Logically, human beings should be very wise and rational in many things. But even on some major issues, sometimes human judgment does not seem to be much better than that of beasts.

A very credible series of evidence shows that the United States believes that China's economic aggregates are directly comparable to those of the United States, and it is the only country in the world with comprehensive strength and development potential to challenge the hegemonic status of the United States. Therefore, the United States has regarded China as the number one enemy, but, considering history and reality, China is actually not aggressive, and it obviously lacks psychological motivation and behavioral evidence for seeking hegemony. However, on Sino-US relations, which has a bearing on global strategic stability, and in handling the relations between China and the United States, the world's two largest economies, the United States does not seem to be very rational, and Americans are not very willing to be rational up and down.

This can't help but be reminiscent of some examples of animal judgment danger, try two more interesting and funny examples.

One example is that in the very good comedy "God Is Crazy 2", there is a scene where a hyena chases and eats an African child. But it is said that hyenas judge the strength of the enemy, and the standard is the size of the other party! When this African child was hunted by hyenas all the way and was about to die, he hurriedly picked up a dry bark on the side of the road and held it above his head, and his head was suddenly higher than that of the hyena, and the hyena was scared and provoked, and the African child finally escaped the disaster!

Second example. It is said that wild boars generally do not take the initiative to attack people, because wild boars are timid, and wild boars have been preying on hunted animals for a long time on the long evolutionary road, and this experience has been deeply engraved in the genes, which has led to the fact that although this animal is large, it is very timid. Because the bold gene has been unable to continue for a long time because of predation, the wild boar can live to this day, with the timid gene, and run away when they see the alien, which is their instinct.

But it is precisely because the wild boar is a sensitive and 'unconfident' animal that it will take the initiative to attack for fear of being attacked. Paradoxically, wild boars often use the size of their faces to determine the degree of danger of each other, and upright walking humans appear to be the largest in the wild boar, and are also considered by wild boars to be the most dangerous, which also leads to the wild boar actively attacking people out of panic when the two meet.

Now, Americans judge the degree of danger of China to the United States by its size, especially the total economic volume, and what is the difference between it and African hyenas, wild boars and other animals? Lamentable. Chinese does not want to take the initiative to challenge the global hegemony of the United States, at most it is only to disobey hegemony and oppose hegemony.

Do humans have to reflect on whether they must be more noble and intelligent than other kinds of animals? Human intelligence is actually like this, it is inherently limited, and it is not really separated from the low-level interests of the animal level.
