Perhaps although it isn’t clear that evolution could create living organisms smart enough to create such an optimal society. We’re sort of the ‘minimum viable product’ here, we have just enough hacks on the precursor animals to be able to create a coordinated civilization at all, and imperfectly. Aka ‘the stupidest animals capable of civilization’. As current events show, where entire groups engage in mass delusion in a world of trivial access to information.
AI civilizations have a higher baseline and may just be better successors.
