Survival of the fittest also includes being just bad enough to keep on surviving. If a predator is too good at what it does its prey may go extinct, causing his own specie to die from stravation.

That’s a really good point!

And we do kind of see this with the Nine, too, with them killing off large swathes of their prey at a time. The only differences are that they don’t actually need their prey for sustenance and they can just move on to another city if they run out.

In short, Jack’s social darwinist “survival of the fittest means being a monster is human nature” philosophy is full of shit.
