If you don't believe that the world can turn into a Hobbesian-state, then find a wall & stare at it until it hurts. You'll notice that the paint isn't dry & the picture will change with a single blink, fade with dry eyes & breathe when you want it to. You'll see a wall can be many things; It can move in a dream if you make it, or drape itself in mirrors & make you infinite, although trapped, staring at a wall & thinking of someone else, but only seeing yourself forever in every direction.
Hobbes Theory: This belief stemmed from the central tenet of Hobbes' natural philosophy that human beings are, at their core, selfish creatures.
