Reply to comment by fencerman in Vivek Venkataraman argues that political equality and proto-democracy were the most common form of political organisation in the "state of nature". These ideals preceded modern liberalism & statehood, and are arguably how humans have lived the majority of our evolution. by Ma3Ke4Li3

In our world? Sure. But in a state of nature without our level of technology, no. I'm not saying this to be a dick. That was just the reality of things.

>Anyone simply refusing to cooperate anymore would be a massive harm to the whole group.

Not just those refusing cooperation, but also people not capable of it, like those born with a disability.

The thing is, everybody believes their arguments are based on logic and facts, including those people with strong, biased convictions. Most people care about being right, and 'winning' the argument than they care about truth.

Also we're not 100% logical beings, and most of our arguments are about our subjective views of the world.
