Not sure what you mean by ‘Hobbesian state of nature founding assumptions’, although I’ll admit I’m pretty sympathetic to Hobbesian view. You mean the claim about most creatures living in a Malthusian struggle? Do you think that’s not true of non-human animals, or humans prior to availability of birth control? Or is your claim more like there’s something about humans that should be viewed as a stable trend away from Malthusianism, not an anomaly?
