My God, you're one in a million writer on Medium!
For debate's sake, I wish I could disagree with your comment...but I don't.
I had to find a starting point for the article and chose one that was rather recent for readers to know about and understand.
I have another draft attempting to trace the Andrew Tate phenomenon's origin back to the French revolution and the birth of progressivism, but it's such a difficult topic to write about that I feel I need to read a few other books before finishing it.
You have spoken about how we went from an egalitarian society to one ruled by social class and domination.
I like to see this through the lens of the conflict theory; that as a tribe, people had to work together to survive *against* the wild.
Once we domesticated the wild, we had to find a new enemy and turned onto each other.
Human societies are inherently antifragile, which is why I argue that the complete absence of violence is not a good thing - but I'd be banned on Medium for writing this.
This is a fascinating and highly complex topic, and we could add so much more to it...but it's a not an article I'd write then.
It'd be loooooonnnngggg book!
Thanks for reading and thanks for commenting. I'll be following your stories.
