Source refs: `video:predictive-history-s-k6eswheqa@transcript:v1#seg-0044` - diagnosis: Survival of the fittest is not Jiang's account of historical human organization; he says humans are usually compassionate toward the ill, elderly, and weak. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-vtnra-gnkm8@transcript:v1#seg-0009` - model: Jiang says survival of the fittest is wrong as a human rule because most human history shows compassion, empathy, divinity in creatures, and special care for the weak.

Source refs: `video:predictive-history-s-k6eswheqa@transcript:v1#seg-0043`, `video:predictive-history-s-k6eswheqa@transcript:v1#seg-0044` - model: He says social arrangements shape compassion: shared survival can produce cooperation, while competitive money incentives can make people hate each other.
