It is the fundamental unpleasantness and unsatisfactory dissonance with the ideal of a civil society that keeps us from seeing or presenting the world as such, but when the chips are down; are you willing to make the other SOB in your way die for he believes is right is the most pertinent question.

Yes and its exactly like this for our slightly less sapient animal siblings. "I'm hungry. You look like food.
"I don't want to be food. I'm running away".
The outcome is boolean. And an order emerges in form of a balance between prey and predator.
I've always wondered if the same pattern isn't also true about human societies. Yielding a spectrum: Aggressive and passive. Powerful and weak. Representative and authoritarian.
