This world does belong to satan metaphorically and those who are scum rise to power and their minions inherit and rule the earth too. It really is one group nature favors while it allows for or tolerates some others and this minority group includes the small percentage of intelligentsia as well because they are of practical use. I used to think it was the best nature selected for but it's the opposite when it comes to the majority and who really has power, shapes and defines how society is run as well as socially/culturally. It selects for two hideous major criteria for the majority: predation and corruption, converged is manipulative intelligence and that's it. It seems strange but its as if there is some type of identity conspiracy. the truly good will be destroyed while they take on their attributes, giving themselves a character that is not genuine. It favors the sterile as well as the corrupt, stealing life and the truth while wearing masks and distorting or degrading what could have been of much higher or better quality expressed by those who they oppressed if they werent so self-centered or jealous inappropriately and let good be as an example. not bring down or destroy so it's no longer competition.
this is one of the character faults of nature as you have society that regresses as well as progresses constantly because it allows for the use of base and primitive to overpower better in some aspect but less powerful so you get substandard or poor results overall in society and quality. The lesser always salivates with the evil green eye knowing they can easily crush or destroy what is more fragile even if of better quality if allowed. Competition doesn't always result in the best as there are other variables to consider in how nature and laws of nature work which are frankly imperfect and rather not ideal. To put it simply since nature came from shit, so shit will feel most entitled and deserving and that includes shitty people as well as nature with it's modus operandi make sure they always end up getting the major or most of the piece of the pie. It's not about better or ideal, it's about whatever is better or ideal for shit lifeforms and everything is there to serve them and to this end.
the most important but simple truth to answer every shitty thing that occurs in nature and in society is that at the very root/seed is predatorial, always be and will always prefer, select for and is the name of the game no matter what civil adornments, masks and contrivances people use.
