The "the Mortecene, the Age of Death and Killing" stuff is kind of phoney when most evidence seems to show higher rates of killing before the enlightenment than after. Likewise other stuff - the industrial revolution can't be explained without slavery. I mean it was involved but the steam engine would have been invented anyway. And so on. Making up incorrect nonsense to fit a preconceived hypothesis.
