In an unwisely candid moment Jodie Foster revealed, "look, it's terrible, I know, but weakness really, really bugs me, to the point that if there is a wounded bird on the sidewalk, I look at it and go: I think I'll just kick it".
This got me to thinking: In our evolutionary past, when we were living in small groups competing for scarce resources, any individual showing signs of weakness must have been a threat to the group as a whole. Is it possible that Jodie Foster unknowingly illuminated something nasty lurking within all of us to some degree?
Ps I'm a big fan of Ms Foster's work.

An erroneous assumption.
