Let me get this straight: Individuals cannot be trusted because they are sociopathic. Therefore, they should not be ruled over. Therefore, we need a rule to prevent rulership. Am I following correctly so far?
Why will individuals obey rules without governance, if people "suck" (<– bad political philosophy) and are sociopathic (yes, about 6%)? Some people will aways break all the rules if they think it benefits them.

I won't imagine I could speak for Gillis, but to my mind there are a wide variety of kinds of rules, many of which are discovered and/or implicit. Others are explicit, or even contrived.

Rulership, while etymologically linked to 'rules', is about a narrow range from the overall set of rules. It's tied to the role of ruling, which involves status as an authority, the kind that demands obedience not the kind that's knowledgeable.
