Seriously, humans in fact no lnonger have instincts
Less seriously, lol i knew when i saw what i typed someone would make fun of it
. So never heard of the brothers wright and the brothers wrong? The brothers wrong tried to build a plane started it and were never seen again.
And don\'t worry about what redmonk said, i wont come and kill you. First there is another of whome i have to take care. the revenge will be sweet.
Even less serious, society and rules are a tool not a goal. The one to understand the emptyness of rules and values can fully use society to his benefits.
Oh and maybe you want this ring. It can give you a funny hallucination like view on the world. Everything becomes black and white and moves. It has a sideeffect i still try to remove, the ring tends to make you invisible. But it also has some cool writing on the side when you hold it in fire.
Yes my most precious ring i want to give to you.
*Gollum Golllum *
First off, humans still have instincts

, don\'t try to elevate humans just because we are sentient and intelligent. Sentience kicks in, imho, a couple of years after birth. Instinct is what the baby relies on to be able to feed off the mother (no offense to anyone here) and swallow, etc etc.
Second off, society was never a tool. Humans are a social species. You cut off the social aspect of humans, and you go nuts, basically. Society is basically an integral part of being a Homo Sapien, and for most other primates as well. Not only primates, but also for some, if not most, mammals. Cetaceans, Perissodactyls, Carnivores, and elephants (Proboscideans, just \'cause I wanna show of in my knowledge :] ) in particular. We need society. Rules are a part of society. Society can\'t exist without rules. Rules are the backbone of a prosperous society. As much as we all adore chaos, the chaos that we see in modern day society still has some sort of rule governing it.
Enough of my blabbering.
