Government is emergent. It will always exist.

Both of these things can be true

Government isn't inherently bad.

On one hand I agree with you. We shouldn't attribute malice to what can be explained by stupidity.

Government isn't inherently stupid either. Government doesn't always have to be some huge nation state.

The same can be said of cancer.

No... Cancer is a biological anomaly that we can cure.

Our instinct to organize into waring tribes could very well be biological.

And we have about as good a chance of evolving from it as we do discovering a cure to cancer.

Take that however you want.

A cure for cancer can be done with enough compute (read energy)

A system of governance will always naturally emerge. It's how human beings organize.

Our conception of government has been around for less than 300 yrs.

When we were crossing the planes to hunt mamoths did we stop to take a vote?

voting isn't "governance" ... Yes, hunter gatherer societies absolutely established hierarchies (read governance). Usually patriarchal.

300 years huh? Rome wasn't a government? What a ridiculous statement to make.
