    ok, then fuck everything, don’t even bother having a society.

    For folks in their prime years, there’s a real economic incentive to use your superior strength and that of your immediate circle to loot your elders and tyrannize your kids.

    great, have them just kill and gang rape everyone they want to, it’s cheaper that way.

      don’t even bother having a society

      Societies are the mechanism used to pass down historical accounts and ingrain in future generations the value of current cultural practices. The only way you have a functional state is with a current society of people who advocate, educate, and lead us towards its replication and expansion on behalf of future generations.

      There’s more to life than its spot price at auction.

        Great job of explaining that with your previous statement. /S

        Not in the society you explained! I’d rather take the pretense away.
