Human Nature

First, responding to Olivia, I'm sure the other boats had a perfectly good explanation as to why they couldn't respond right away. One being the Titanic's position with icebergs, and there were ships saying they would come to help, but they were decently far away. They tried to help, but if they saw the risk of getting themselves in the same situation, then why risk it? Second, Nick I do agree with you. Although, I don't think it needs to be a government that can bring everyone together. What we need is for people to realize what needs to happen and just do it, work it out. This is a far-fetched idea and will likely not happen in our lifetime, but down the road some revolution may spark this kind of thinking. No, I do not believe that any form of sovereign will have the ability to unite us and battle "Hobbs's Six." Nick, I also believe your right in the sense that we need to learn to live with the six things that make us 'bad'. Maybe once we, as a species, get a better understanding of the 'six' and how they affect us in the 'big picture' we may finally be able to live to some extent of peace.
