So, we end the idea of pain and cruelty and instead we compete for resources and survival on a Trivial Pursuit board. Okay, I'll buy into that new global way of working things out.
Only... what do we do when one tribe accuses the other tribe of cheating?
Or one tribe feels this new system is unjust because it doesn't allow for their lower standards of knowledge, putting them at a disadvantage in the tournament.
What do we do when one powerful Trivial Pursuit nation offers to help a weaker trivial pursuit nation in exchange for supporting an ideology that is in direct conflict with another powerful tribe? Do we then have a mega trivial pursuit tournament, with really big pieces of pie?
What happens when people play a fun based board game and a competitive player becomes convinced someone is cheating.
They get angry. Volatile.
It doesn't matter what the chosen arena is for resolving conflict, no arena will ever eradicate resentment, suspicion, superstition, heresy, ideological schisms, anger, revenge, persecution, aggression... human nature.
Human Behaviour.
The basis of human tribal societal structure.
