The realism and the utopia

Today I came back to a statement that I used to make when discussing with overly ambitious but unrealistic people. I would tell them that during my walks in the bush, and I did many in distinct types of bushes, I could see that the baboons would go for the lizards. At a different level, the wild dogs would do the run, with extreme efficiency, to catch the impala. And the lions would focus on the kudus, a much bigger animal than the poor lizard or the gracious impala. No baboon would make any effort to do the impossible and try to catch a kudu.
