Under capitalism, a lot of the time, highly dangerous jobs are also highly paid. Kind of a balance that the individual decides to engage with. Same idea behind getting an advanced degree in STEM or law. I think of my job by example, I’m a power plant operator at a large combined cycle plant. No fucking shot I’d be doing this if the pay wasn’t good. I’m around explosive and deadly hot shit all day.

      Yeah, where the dangerous job was “hunt something so you don’t starve”, the motivation for doing the dangerous job is pretty obvious.

        Not if you live in any kind of group. “Why should I go hunt? You do it.” And then I get excluded from the group - that could still happen.

        (I’m spitballing, I know nothing about anything, just interested bystander)

      Yes, generally outside the context of civilization though. Combining stateless and classless with civilization is the hard part.
