> have you considered that in a natural state

a natural state would not have technology.

I would also tend to be libertarian if technology didn't exist. Technology changes the game:

- you can process millions of transactions a minute without a bottle neck from humans

- you can produce plastic, and lots of it

- you can migrate hundreds of thousand of human around the world, which would normally be an invasion

- you can destroy the environment (not so easy without technology)

- you can addict an entire generation of humans to a device (video games, porn, social media)

Without technology there is only so much a person or organization can do.
