People Behave Socially and 'Well' Even Without Rules
#34
RE: People Behave Socially and 'Well' Even Without Rules
That points out another problem for this utopia. Even if you find some like minded folks to commune with, you can't control who your neighbors over the hill will be. If they aren't bought into your plan, they may just see easy pickings where you see home.

Finding a tribe's worth of like minded people is only the first hurdle. No matter where you set up shop there will be folks with a flag that already call your land their land. If you don't abide by their laws, they'll still haul you into their courts. But maybe I'm missing the scope of the hypothetical here.
