re: Plants are natural collectivists.

Wild nature is the perfect example of a complex free economy. There are no outside controls, no rules, no regimentation, no regulation.

Although there are many examples of cooperation for mutual benefit, every species is out for its own kind against all other species.

And yet the balance is maintained.
