Where Everything Fights Everything
Apex predator and king of the savanna, known for majestic manes and surprisingly lazy daytime habits.
Abstract concept that runs the world.
The Winner Is
This analysis reveals a contest between power in its primitive and sophisticated forms. The lion embodies authority as nature designed it—direct, physical, and unmistakeable. Money represents humanity's ingenious abstraction of that authority into infinitely transferable, endlessly divisible, universally applicable form.
With a final assessment of 58-42 in favour of money, the verdict acknowledges that whilst the lion remains the superior organism in purely biological terms, money has achieved something the great cat cannot: omnipresence in human affairs. The lion rules its territory; money rules the territories of the mind.
Yet one must note that in any direct confrontation—stripped of abstract considerations—the lion's verdict remains unchallengeable. Money cannot outrun four hundred pounds of apex predator.
