I would rather have individual competition to be honest. When people are more individualized and unique, now that we've finally realized that peace is valuable and mutually beneficial, we're forced to compromise and live and let live. When people become too homogeneous and tribalistic they all band together and become way too powerful, persecuting all outsiders and dissenters. Then they even discard reason for bandwagoning.

It's kind of like how it's better to have a bunch of small greedy companies than one giant nightmare of a government and its 10 pet monopolies. Everything is a hopeless mess, but some things are more dire than others.

I think every species likely has an optimum balance of cooperation and competition. Our optimum is likely less competitive and more cooperative than a Great White Shark, but less demanding of rigid conformity than ants or bees. I think its an issue of having a balance that is optimum for our nature. I don't know exactly where to put the line though

The problem is the matrix

Lol, you rascal, only you would bring simulation theory into a conversation about naturalism. My brain hurts just thinking about this
