"It should be obvious..." A lot of things should be obvious to people, that are not, or that they conveniently ignore. Your fantasy of human nature, is not human nature. Humans are the ones who wait for the comet to whisk them away to a spaceship, and when it doesn't happen they believe in it even more. People march each other into mass graves and ovens. People as a group are vulnerable to populism, and the vagaries of chance and hard times leading to short-term instabilities that rapidly magnify. We are chaotic. You're welcome to entertain whatever optimistic fantasies you like about the natural state of ungoverned people, just don't try to sell it to anyone.
