     @narF +1 for the easier to read and more permanent blog (or other) format 🙂 @HeavenlyPossum

     @HeavenlyPossum I'm completely mind blown!!!

     There's hope in humanity after all!

     Have you considered putting this on a blog so that it's easier to read than a bunch of Mastodon posts?

     And, just on a final closing note, if you enjoyed this thread and are in a position to do so, please consider buying me a coffee.

     I’ve got some further threads planned on the Indus Valley and Cucetina-Trypillia civilizations, two societies with complex urban life and no evidence of coercive states. Stay tuned!

     The tl;dr message is that violence is *not* inevitable, and that we can choose—just like many tribal peoples do—to build societies and institutions that encourage peaceful cooperation.

     What we absolutely are not justified in doing is blaming modern violence on some imagined “tribal” past or primitivism.

     Many of those people had or have their shit together in ways that we should envy.
