I'm not sure that humane values would survive in a world that rewards cooperation weakly. Azathoth grinds slow, but grinds fine.
To oversimplify, there seem to be 2 main factors that increase cooperation, 2 basic foundations for law. Religion and Economic growth. Of this, religion seems to be far more prone-to-volatility. It is possible to get some marginally more intelligent people to point out the absurdity of the entire doctrine and along with the religion, all the other societal values collapse.
Economic growth seems to be a far more promising foundation for law as the poor and the low in status can be genuinely assured that they will get a small share of a growing pie. If economic growth slows down too much, it's back to values ingrained by evolution.
