Those are valid concerns about a society without formal laws. Instilling and enforcing shared values without legal mechanisms can be challenging. Some possibilities include:

- Relying on social pressure and informal sanctions: In tight-knit communities, the disapproval of others can be a strong motivator for compliance. Non-conformists could face social ostracism or other informal punishments like shaming. However, this relies on a highly cohesive society and can be less effective for violations that aren't easily observed or in large, anonymous communities.

- Strong cultural emphasis on norms and morality: If certain values or moral principles are deeply embedded in a culture, people may willingly follow them without need for enforcement. However, cultural values are not static and can change over time. There is also diversity of perspectives, so consensus on values is difficult. Relying solely on voluntary compliance may not deter those who are more self-interested or who hold opposing views.

- Community-based dispute resolution: Inconsistencies or violations could be addressed through discussion and mediation. However, this requires willingness to participate and can be time-consuming for larger issues. The outcomes may also vary based on who is involved in the process and their perspectives.

As for people who willingly ignore shared values, a society without laws would have limited ability to punish or forcibly prevent non-conformity. The consequences tend to be social rather than legal. Tolerance for deviance would depend on the values and structure of the specific society. Societies that value individual autonomy may accept some level of deviation from norms. However, too much deviance could threaten social cohesion, especially if it undermines key values or causes harm.

In general, a society without formal laws may work best on a small scale with a high degree of social interconnectedness and shared values. However, it also has limitations in enforcing cooperation and addressing harmful behavior at a larger scale. The historical viability of such societies may depend greatly on context.
