Whether humans are by their nature brutal or nasty or untrusting is beside the point in practical terms

With the above in mind, whether humans are by their nature brutal or nasty or untrusting is beside the point in practical terms: although humans need to augment their information processing and will do so in any way they can, what information processing they can and cannot do in any given moment (i.e. how they act and behave each time) is dependent on their state. A state (basically, its government, the state having no will of its own, see §11.00.08) may, theoretically, apply no rules at all, thus allowing its citizens to satisfy their needs in whatever way they can; equally, a state may apply extensive regulations that limit its citizens’ actions. An individual in the first state would appear brutish and nasty, while one in the second would appear reserved and self-controlled. The character of each human being (as undecipherable) as it is, and states having always accompanied humans, how individuals actually (materially, externally) behave each time is the work of their states.
