The essence of the incentive/reward or give/take arc is reinforcement. The reward or strangled deer gives a lion energy while the hunger hormone (incentive) takes the energy to hunt down another deer tomorrow. If a lion chases x deers and catches none, it won’t have the energy to catch even a vulnerable deer that can’t run.

And this is capitalism, the hunger hormone of businesses uses up planet/society to amass wealth and gives back peanuts. It’s designed to take, take, and take, in fact if they were to get away with it, businesses wouldn’t pay taxes. It’s akin to feeding your hunting dog on meatless bones. Is this a sustainable design?
