MODERATORS
I know others have already replied with counterarguments, but as a simple partial counterpoint, the fact that everyone alive are decedents of those who survived the hunter-gatherer stages of their society, for a long long time, is evidence that we're generally capable of learning to be caring, smart and sane, it's not some utopian advanced stage beyond our grasp. Prior to our technological developments like food preservation, individualistic societies were not viable.
