There's way too many wolfs in sheep clothing in human societies for there ever to be trust amongst themselves in the sharing of power for the greater good of all.

Dunno, I think power sharing might be better than following a single psychopath.

Wolves in sheep clothing is an analogy of human nature. What would/could be best is not a choice we can make given what we are.

Ah, a true pragmatist in the land of the sly.

I think it’s possible but we need to scale down significantly. Humans are capable of this. We’ve done it in the distant past (and still in some places today). Building trust amongst a smallish group (say 15-25 people) would (and could) change everything.

Yes, but for that to work, considering that we now have 8 billion people, we’re going to need a bigger boat.
