History of hunting(1)- When we were in our early stages of evolution, we lived in the woods and were desperate most of the time
- We created villages and subsisted well on the pot-luck theory
- We developed the soy bean and other food that replaces meat
- Some of us could not get along w/o stealing: emotional communication disorder -- they got driven out into the woods, which is how animal communities deal with this problem
- They formed groups, and hunted cooperatively
- Killing is killing -- when they weren't killing animals they were killing each other
- They formed paranoid groups of "brigands"
- They developed into the violent aspect of the nation-state: soldiers and cops (I forgive the rank and file soldiers, but not the cops, yet anyway)
- Which, in turn, refined itself
(with the help of Plato) into the oligarchy control system
There is a lot about the Native relationship with wildlife that is complex, complicated and spiritual. Natives do not like killing, as the wild animals are their friends-- it is sacrifice(2). The sacrifice concept has been corrupted by the marginalized defectives that are within and in control of society: the oligarchy(3).
- This is from Lewis Mumford's Technics and Civilization and my own experience. I write about this in the empathy wiki.
- Here is my writing on the Native experience.
- What we learned about the oligarchy through emotional communication studies.
