It's more funny/sad if you consider how successful chicken are from this point of view.
Symbiosis doesn't mean both parties are happy about it.
EVOLUTION DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HAPPY
Appreciate your gut bacteria. They love you too.
chickens as a species, sure, but there's something to be said about the happiness of each individual chicken. read a book once that was like "the more successful a species as a collective is, the less happy each individual is" or smth like that :(
If you want there to be a lot of your species, the best thing to do is become delicious to humans.
Unless you're a giant tortoise.
It took 300 years to properly classify them. Specimens never survived the voyage back to Europe because they were too delicious.
