Did you see me kill that guy? Want to join him? No? Okay, be in my network, and let's go get that other guy's crops. Stick with me and we'll eat well. = network with followers.
Again--you just threatened my life, so it might be me killing you. I don't have to follow.

While you're killing me, my rival is someplace else and just got the another guy to join, and they will not get to you until they know they can defeat you because you've already demonstrated the will to fight back. Good luck when the crowd comes to your farm. Of course, it's your fault if you're not prepared.
In only 3-1/2 hours and six pages of anarchy, only a handful of people are already eating each other and drawing battle lines. While the concept of anarchy is quite appealing, it wont work because there are humans involved.

Again, why would you band together? It's much simpler to not have to deal with other people. Your rival risks the usurpation of his power.
Sartre said "Hell is other people." I'm inclined to agree.

A normal person is going to act in self-defense. He is not going to try to conquer the world.
Thanks, but no thanks. It took us a few millenia to reach the Enlightenment, and I do not think it's a journey worth doing again.
We are in the Age of Enlightenment? Really?
War
Terrorism
Pollution
Cancer Epidemic
Racial bigotry
Gender bias against women
Rampant Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Failing K-12 Education Systems
Mass Shootings at High Schools, Work Places, Shopping Malls and Universities.
I missed that memo about being in the Age of Enlightenment.
