    @chrisbaraniuk yes: and there's never going to be one single answer, and obviously circumstances and culture will count for so much. but what is clear to me is that the narrative "we are all held back from barbarism by the civilising effects of society & law" is false.

      @chrisbaraniuk and that, and the political consequences it has, is what interests me more than shipwrecks. that wasn't the argument LotF was trying to make, I don't think, but it is one that it is used to support.
