> broad alignment between people is natural
Uh, what? People have been killing each other over values misalignments since there have been people. We invented civilization in part to protect our farms and granaries from people who disagreed with us on whose grain was in said granaries.
Couldn't read the next sentence before wading in, huh?
Critical bit:

We would never have even reached "farms and granaries" if alignment between people didn't happen pretty naturally
