 ==Context==
 *The idea of a [[Social Contract]] originated with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_(Hobbes_book) Thomas Hobbes book "The Leviathan"] (originally published in 1651) which is concerned with the structure of society and legitimate government.
-*Hobbes feared that without a commonwealth acting as "one person" humanity would descend into a "war of all against all." He argued for a covenant among people. Each would give up certain freedoms, and restrain certain impulses, in exchange for peace, order and civic longevity. We see now that his fears have be fully realized on the internet where no one wants to forgot any freedoms and expects someone else to bear all the costs.

 *We all seem to want a civil society where we can flourish, but it must first of all be a society with justice for all who would be members of the society, excluding no one for arbitrary reasons. For then civil disobedience would be appropriate.

It is speculated that the reason that Homo Sapiens dominated was their ability to share information and thrive in social groups. It could also be speculated that it was Sapien's desire for domination that cause the spread.
