Archeology has proven that people like the Indians, who lived off nature, where healthier than the common person living in “Civilization”.
Civility brings contentment, and with contentment comes stupidity. People lose all strength when in social dictatorship when the people with the money rules.
There are pros and cons to both, only time will tell which is actually better.

We're better off in society. There's too much freedom in the state of nature. In the state of nature, "might means right" is the rule, and laws are needed to protect the weak.

Society and nature are the same thing, the more man seeks to seperate from the animal the more the animal is apparent.

DEFINATELY in a Society. Rules/Laws/Customs - that many may not agree with, but it beats the law if the jungle that says "If I'm stronger, I'll take Your Woman, Land, and anything you've produced.

For humans, society is a state of nature just as it is for chimps, bonobos, baboons, and apes.
