This is a competition instinct 'evolution' vignette involving a fictional American race-car driver talking about the intellectual 'weight' of humanity's development of great labyrinths and its ensuing forms of ruthless poison and wolfish violence representing altruism-prioritization vulnerabilities.
This species-conscious vignette was inspired by Woody Allen's Sleeper.

"Violence has always been a part of mankind's history and perhaps even story. When early man (australopithecines) ate only fruits and vegetables, men were small in stature and more peaceful, but when man evolved into other species (Neanderthal, Homo habilis, Homo sapien) and began hunting animals for meat-foods, they grew larger in size and appetite and strength and became naturally more competitive and survival-conscious, since congestion of flesh for food made them more sensitive about death and decay and extinction.
Since this shift in the species/lineage/history of mankind, humans have engaged in various forms of war, conflict, crime, piracy, brutality, rape, and destruction. Wall Street has bred in men a feeling of the 'sheer value' of competitive urges and the 'thrill' of success. The Gulf War between America and Iraq was purely petroleum-based. Urban gang wars in L.A. represented a modern problem regarding the anarchy in populated/developed areas of high traffic and pluralism/multiculturalism.
The new millennium has seen an exuberance in consumerism and commercial conveniences thanks to developments in computing/networking technologies and 'towers' such as smartphones, NASDAQ, and Microsoft. Now, 'TrumpUSA' is arguably a 'beacon' for commercial pride, spawning various forms of pedestrian criticism/protest against a potentially 'values-neglectful' society. No one wants a capitalism-baron President to ignore the needs and dreams of everyday Americans, since America is the 'captain' of democracy around the world.
Nevertheless, this 'aura' of high commercial traffic makes one feel that falling behind in socialization highways (e.g., Facebook, eTrade) will turn your into a dinosaur or an extinct monkey. Power-merchants and sharks will seem 'unforgiving' towards such 'weaknesses' in social consciousness. In fact, these symbolic 'dinosaurs' will become 'prey' to an advanced civilization sense of 'progress-driven' arrogance (and pride). Why, for example, do we see an emerged interest in vigilantism/justice fantasy themed comic book adapted films such as The Dark Knight and Wonder Woman in this 21st Century of great intellectual pride?
That's why we might consider the 'experience' of those who fear falling behind the 'steamroller' of human progress as a 'testament' for the need for altruism and empathy --- perhaps the true sign of 'human species sophistication.' Perhaps there should be a 'museum' cataloging the stages in civilization 'advancement' and how competitive urges spawned 'social poisons' such as Internet-acuity bigotry and mercilessness towards those who 'fall behind' the 'NASDAQ train.' After all, you're not 'useless' just because you're not skilled with smartphone-use! You deserve federal securities regardless of your 'involvement' with IBM.
Consider therefore the value of a 'Poison Museum' cataloging a human-species 'history of violence' spawned from unchecked competitive urges stemming from early-man's decision to turn from a naturally tranquil diet of fruits and veggies to a more 'ravenous' diet of fleshy animal meats. We might even consider how poisons used by assassins in the Medieval Ages or chemical-weapons used by terrorists in the modern age represent a 'progression' of violence, beginning with savage cannibalism seen in the ancient Aztec civilization of Mexico through the urban mayhem of the 1992 Los Angeles Race Riots. What is mankind's story of self-control?
Since I've been a professional/iconic American race-car driver in NASCAR, with the race-name Racer-X, people have asked me about the metaphysical value of competitiveness and the intellectual value of media-celebrity and fame. Should I consider why the reality of 'ambition-poison' represents the moral vulnerabilities of mankind itself? I'd recommend that a hypothetical 'Poison Museum' represent civilization's complex evolution towards great capitalist towers...and ultimately (hopefully) towards a certain ambition-prudent peace."
