I think it is not just squeamishness, I think it is the idea that without a strongly pro-cooperation value system, how the eff does one achieve the level of cooperation to have a wide division of labor and trade and thus actually get rich and advanced?

I see no contradiction at all between having a "strongly pro-cooperation value system" and having bloody spectacles in the arena.

Humans still are great fans of bloody spectacles, it's just that nowadays it's easier to produce fake ones on screens.
