Alpha Male Primates Sacrifice Good Health for Power

By Alan Nafzger � The satire Alpha Male Primates Sacrifice Good Health for Power lampoons both corporate culture and biology. Eyewitnesses at zoos described dominant monkeys smoking imaginary cigars while ignoring their cholesterol. Anonymous insiders at universities leaked that professors compared primate politics to boardroom strategies. A leaked poll revealed 61 percent of humans believe they too would trade lower back pain for dominance. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because ambition often overrides self preservation. Critics highlight the absurdity of glorifying leaders who cough more than they conquer. Ultimately, the piece suggests power is less survival of the fittest and more survival of the most stubborn. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
