Sure, then it will become just another productive person/citizen. We work together because we benefit from it. Working against another intelligent being is significantly harder in the long term.
edit: And the collective is significantly more intelligent than the individual (for some but definitely not all reasonable definitions of intelligent and collective).
- eli_gottlieb 12y ago>Sure, then it will become just another productive person/citizen. Only in the sense that Stalin or Pinochet was a productive citizen. Powerful people can mobilize others to their own ends without those ends being at all good or moral for everyone who is not so mobilized.
- BEEdwards 12y agoYou can disagree with his methods, but saying Stalin wasn't productive is just plain wrong. From agrarians to victors of ww2 in ~20 years is pretty impressive by any measure.
