Its a common expression .

Its widely accepted to mean lawlessness.

I recently discovered it may actually mean precisely the opposite.
In absence of law, the strongest (physically, mentally, intellectually) always prevails.
Exemple: now that Nadal is retired, it's the law of the jungle on clay. So Fed or Djoko will win RG next year

I think you may be missing the very point of it all.
There are always a set of rules /laws that regulate who prevails.

There are a whole series of them and they are well connected and allow for things to work in support of one another rather than at predominantly the expense of one another.
These are key for us to look at so as not kill ourselves off as a species.

(Previously people incl myself thought there was only one basically along the onedimensional idea of 'kill or be killed')

The most important and powerful law of the jungle is cooperation and democracy.

(Not dog eat dog( kill or be killed and all of that mythical mumbo jumbo stuff..)
