What happens if neither the dominator nor the dominated have "free will"?
That's what I fear. The dominant members can't deny their own nature. They are like that, so they act like that.

Since the dominators are the dominant members of the species, their genes won't be eliminated. Since the selfish and greedy types are the dominant members of our species, we are doomed.
