1/2
Listening to the audio book of Goliath's Curse performed by the author Luke Kemp.
Luke is looking at similar historical and anthropological data to that looked at by Graeber and Wengrow in The Dawn of Everything.
But from a different perspective - societal collapse.
The cowboys and Injuns TV shows of my childhood take on a whole different perspective ...

2/3 where the community failed to expel them in time, which failure allowed these individuals to force their will upon the community and gain power.
Only egalitarian societies without any hierarchy are sustainable long term (see Khoisan). If we want to survive the #climatebreakdown, we as a community MUST use that lever, -> 3/3

Excellent lecture!
The lecturer does mention - but just shortly - the root cause of hierarchical and thus exploitative societies: Men born with psychiatric disorders, ->2/3

Best podcast I listened to in sometime:
Don't be a dick
In his Leviathan-like Goliathโs Curse: The History and Future of Societal Collapse, by way of a solution for civilisational demise, #LukeKemp advises โdonโt be a dickโ.
Luke, an associate at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at the University Cambridge, argues, as I do in my book, that our global civilisation is careering towards the worst societal #collapse yet, with the main threat coming from leaders who are โwalking versions of the dark triadโ of vile personality traits - #narcissism, #psychopathy and #Machiavellianism.
