Contradiction. In addition to intelligent humans, the vertical contradiction in the biological world is the closest gap, and the organisms connected by the food chain are survival contradictions, such as the gap between predators and prey in the mode of survival, that is, the dimensional gap. Horizontal contradiction is the gap between the power, interests and survival of similar organisms, such as predators competing for power, territory, and mate rights.
Intelligent human beings also have vertical and horizontal contradictions, human beings have a complex and huge society, and the contradictions of human society are far more complex, diverse and profound than those of animal society. Once the contradictions in human society break out, they are far more tragic, widespread, and lose a lot than animal society. From a single point of view, the history of human society can be regarded as a history of war and a history of contradictions.
The animal kingdom is heterotrophic and humans are heterotrophs, but they all use other plants and animals to provide carbohydrates and proteins. Human society is mainly about the creation and contention of survival materials, that is, the creation of wealth and the competition for wealth. In feudal society and before, power dominated the flow of wealth, and the speed of wealth creation was fast and slow under the influence of social ills, and at the end of the dynasty, the speed of wealth creation was basically smaller than the speed of social ills plundering wealth, so as to trigger an existential crisis, cause social turmoil, and even change.
