You’re totally right about all this! But still many people do want responsibility to some extent—and re: paperwork monstrosities, this is objectively abnormal for the human race; civilization is utterly alien to our evolved context, and imo mostly a bad thing. The only good thing that’s come out of it is technology, and of that, only medical and agricultural technology is really purely good. People in the state of nature have responsibility roughly evenly distributed among the tribe members, though with more among those who are older or considered more expert in some way.
