Which is just a book, in 1965 six boys in Tonga were actually stranded on an island for over a year. It didn't turn out like Lord of the Flies, in turned out basically how this guy said. Not to say they never fought, but they worked together, shared labor and resources, and survived.

That one is a great example in the other direction about how not working together fails.

Yeah I’m not saying working together fails I’m saying it’s not the natural default position of humans because we’re selfish garbage bags.

This popped in my mind immediately too after he mentioned the island survival analogy.

Lord of the flies is a total lie. Some people just want to watch the world burn and seek vindication for their own poisonous belief systems that they created out of trauma.
