incorporation within the ANC be the undoing of the new termite mounds in South Africa,
including the ANC or like in manufacturing, mining, education, and public sector, just as they
contributed to the textile mill collapses? Similarly, the US housing - mortgage - banking
pyramid eventually collapsed, having benefited many in the pyramid scheme, but the taxpayer
and many users of the pyramid, were left to carry the cost of the pyramid collapse. Will this be
the course for more large banks, companies like car manufacturers or green energy ones,
healthcare or higher education or even overspent socialist inclined countries?
Is there an analogy for the hunter-gatherers in sport? Clearly, many Olympic sports do have
an obvious analogy - sprinting, marathon, javelin, shot put, jumping, sailing etc. - as part of
practicing for the hunt. Of the major professional sports in the USA, this may be more
debatable. Football is more adversarial and about achieving territory and thus more like later
pastoralist and other societies warring over farmland. The Zulus before Shaka, however, are a
perfect example. They lined up in two lines and threw relatively harmless spears at each other
from a distance. Apart from introducing his short stabbing spear for hand-to-hand combat,
Shaka introduced the battle principal of surrounding the enemy with buffalo (nyati) horns
formation.

The central “boss” would charge the enemy and then the two side “horns” would sprint
around to surround and attack from the side or encircle the enemy (see photos of Isandlwana).
Does that buffalo horn plan of attack not sound similar to the football linemen taking on the
center of the lineup and the defensive ends running around the side to get to sack the
quarterback? Clearly, football, based on rugby before being changed by the Ivy League
college's principals, is about territory and fighting the neighboring clan from nearby caves or
hunting territories for the right to use an area. Baseball clearly has analogy in the pitcher
throwing stones, spears, or in the case of Inuit's, throwing harpoons. As very small children,
Inuit grandfathers teach children to sit with their knees flat to stretch their ligaments, rotate
their shoulders very far back, and to give the extra thrust to throwing a harpoon. The same
applies to pitchers. In a different era, Tom Brady would also undoubtedly have also been a
superb harpoon thrower. Clearly with basketball there is the element of throwing a ball,
