Crazy 8s

We write about it all the time. We hear it all the time. "The only reason I'm running is if someone is chasing me." What is running? It is the most basic form of hunting for the bipods a.k.a. "humans."

Crazy 8s, done correctly, allow the bipods to play hunter and hunted. The positioning of the pack allows the hunters the freedom to survey the landscape in search of prey. They can then pounce on the weaker animals and eat them for breakfast. The hunted get an opportunity to out run the hunters for a short distance before taking cover and waiting for another opportunity to flee.

What is really cool is to watch the process by which the hunted become the hunter. It doesn't happen over night.

Each morning on the African savannah, a Lion wakes up.
The Lion knows that to eat, it must be faster than the slowest Zebra.
At the same time, a Zebra wakes up.
The Zebra knows that to survive, it must be faster than the fastest Lion.
The moral is ………
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Lion or Zebra.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.

This quote is adapted from Thomas Friedman’s book “The World is Flat … A Brief History of the 21st Century”.
