I would argue that, depending on your value sytem, many better social models have been invented and flourished for thousands of years. They didn't value property or money nor care to commit genocide to further expansion and hence were basically wiped out. Just because the psycopathic murderers won does not make their world view a "better social model".
- dgudkov 6y agoNot going to argue, just curious what social models of the past you consider as better ones?
- minerjoe 6y agoI would consider the tribal gift economies of many of the American Indian tribes as "better". Moraly, ecologically, and spiritually. Minimal ecological damage and some would argue, me included, that they operated more as stewards improving much of the land they lived on. They cherished and took care of their elders. They worked a hell of a lot less hours than we do. And here's the kicker, they valued listening, honesty and respect. Can you even imagine living in such a society?
