Life and the Game of Survivor
This life reminds me of the Reality TV game of survivor with the same motto: Outwit, Outplay, Outlast.
In survivor, contestants — stranded on a remote island, try to survive on it and face challenging tasks to win the grand prize money ($1M). They are progressively eliminated from the game as they are voted out by their fellow contestants until only one is the "Sole Survivor".
In the beginning - the early episodes, the smartest people won the game of survivor, because they outsmarted their opponents.
In life the smartest went to great schools. They got the best jobs - They won the good life.
But like survivor has evolved, people learned the game.
if we vote out the smartest, we control the game.
Now we have the less smart people controlling the game, because they learned the rules.
It’s about numbers.
They ganged up and voted out the smartest people. Eventually, they removed them from the game.
The less smart people adopted the best strategy for the game - if we vote out the smartest, we control the game.
