    For most of human history power wasn’t given to the most shit, rewarding shit behavior. The last 12000 something years are relatively new

    Humans lived quite egalitarian, matriarchal, and some indigenous societies have managed to somewhat stay that way

      Damn, if only we hadn’t invented agriculture, we would have been much better off.

          I saw a documentary once and the supreme leader was chosen by a woman in a lake throwing swords at you. Times were better then. No one had to get on the dead carts until they were ready.

          Societies went splendidly and were all utopian paradises before Capitalism was invented, that’s why Ghengis Khan and the bulk of old timey figures we know the names of were all renown for their diplomacy and love and those floral crowns they passed out.
