    It’s not even primitive, just communism. The idea that peoples without civilization are held back or stuck in the past is a problematic worldview as well, and doesn’t hold up well with the archeological evidence either.

    edit: I strongly recommend the Book “The Dawn of Everything” by Graeber and Wengrow, on this very topic

      Drag has literally been temp banned from this very community for “trolling” when drag made that same point. The mods are so racist they can’t imagine people would hold this opinion genuinely. They think it must be a trick.

    homeostasis as a word certainly existed at this time, but in the biological sciences, and means a system which is self regulating. Im sure that would have changed their opinion on the piece somewhat had they found out.
