> Everyone alive will have pretty deeply inculcated norms around fairness, cooperation, and institutions.

Sorry, but this is extremely naive. Take some time to talk to people who live in high-crime areas and learn about what life is like without those norms. Now imagine everything 10000x worse, because modern society and infrastructure means starvation just doesn't happen all that often. People kill each other over money today, when food becomes more valuable, you don't want to be there...
