The Environment changes, so should we.

What this episode covers

Pre-Holocene climate changed drastically. But roughly 11K years ago, the climate stabilized. I play around with the idea that the creation of agriculture and settled cultures is therefore not an 'advancement' but an adaptation. One in which is biased towards inequality. I suggest that perhaps we should rebalance that bias by being more open to the concept of completely changing our society rather than seeking cultural longevity through stagnation and consolidation of power. I also talk about how and why our social environments play a large role in our social behavior and how we structure our society.
