Xamanismo Coletivo"Like any good #capitalistThinker, Austrian economist #FriedrichHayek had a Book of Genesis–esque prehistoric parable for his followers. In #HayeksBastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right, historian Quinn Slobodian terms this fable “the savanna story.” It went like this: in the beginning, human beings lived in small, tight-knit collectivist groups that necessarily had to prioritize #cooperation and shared interest. As society grew, trade expanded, and new social orders developed, human beings came to care less and less about each other. “Mass mutual #indifference,” Slobodian sums up, “was the secret to sustaining human civilization.”
