Human society "inverts" every law of natural evolution. It is why some of us strive for progress, to set us apart from the other apes.

@SunshineGirl Progress towards which fixed ideals?

@Therealsteve Not being ripped apart by the strongest members of the pack. Allowing empathy and the rule of law to govern our base instincts so we have sufficient peace and stability to build on our achievements in science, literature, and the arts.

@SunshineGirl I believe in individual property rights, the right to self-determination and the right to freedom from violence. A state should exist to protect those things.

@Therealsteve And it does. You will not find any of those advantages in a state of nature.
