- yieldcrv 3y agoWe have 8,000 years of continuous history, and just barely. We pretend this is linear improvements of human coordination where we just got around to being cognitive enough for anything we do sometime over the last 700 years. I reject this idea completely. I’m personally not surprised if there are other 8,000 year periods of human coordination and stability to pursue complex ideas. Across, what, now 200,000 years? I can see the limitations of collecting the evidence involved in perceiving that, and I dont need to wait around for that to believe it. Preteens doing graffiti in caves have preserved art. I dont think it is any indication of human progression at that point in time.

That basis is the value; its strength is the strength of the comment. The opinion itself has no real substance; it's directions for how the author might navigate the substance (the basis); it's a sign that points out what we perceive as valuable.
