But Joscha, do you think its possible that your social circles are very different to the average, i assume you mostly talk to other academics who, because of their exposure have a certain out look on life.
I think you are mixing different modes of functional description into the same model. Subject != organism != evolutionary optimization != physical implementation. And of course societies are constructed and optimized, even if later generations think it's emergent performance art.

Sure functional models should frame reality through a specific context, but like paper maps of the world they are scaled down to accommodate for the user's limited capacity. RE: societies, they grow out of their natural hierarchies and geo-constraints. Origin stories come later.
