  For pretty much the entireity of our existence, we didn’t have borders. The modren notion of borders is intrinsically linked with the nation state.

  And you are conflating borders with boundaries in your later sentence.

    Disagreed. Animals have teritories, which are essentially borders. We just evolved the means to make them somewhat permanent.
    Doesn’t mean we have to keep it that way for the rest of our existance as a species.

      I can’t decide whether or not you actually believe that or you’re just being pseudo intellectual for the bit.

      In nature animals have territories but it’s extremely common for those two shift and flow with the seasons.

      But also animals don’t have internal plumbing or electricity yet we have those things, so I don’t really see why “what animals do” as being particularly relevant.

        OP stated:

        For pretty much the entireity of our existence, we didn’t have borders. […]

        Please point me towards a part of our existance where we didn’t have any types of borders. I deliberatly went all the way back to our beginnings as a species to point out that even then borders existed in some form.

        As for the “shift and flow” part, I clearly stated:

        […] We just evolved the means to make them somewhat permanent. […]

        So, what exaclty is there pseudo-intellectual in my statement?
