Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the ‘Universe.’ The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first.’ Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there’s no choice but for others to also take the ‘right’ napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left because they have no other option. This is ‘society.’” – Funny Valentine
