Yeah but they can't survive without us, and are essentially prisoners
I mean that is true about a lot of things. Millions of insect plant pairs where one of the two requires the other to live.
Yes, this is often used as a way to criticize how our society assimilated the concept of evolutionary success, as if it's a great thing by itself, or even the ultimate goal of a species, or whatever in those lines, when evolution actually "doesn't care" at all about how bad the individuals live, but just about the fact that they're reproducing, and that's it.
wait, why cant they survive without us?
i mean, most of them would die without our protection and feeding, but yeah it's very hyperbolical to say that the entire chicken species would die out if we got raptured
Yes, but, there are so many of them that we plant that, even if we suddenly popped out of existence, there would still be enough survivors for the species to continue.
i mean the same is true of many nectarivores and their partner plants, both species are wholly reliant upon each other to survive.
