  • Human History as Tribes not Governments

    [S] tatists and Priests love to teach the history of governments to give them legitimacy. But just as mathematics ought to be taught as a sequence of historical problems humans had to overcome, and we would understand it very easily, if we taught human history as the evolution of how our tribes evolved and expanded (now that we can teach it) we would find a very different world that was much easier to understand. And we would be a lot more concerned with peoples than corporate governments.

    Human history is not a very long period to cover. It’s a few thousand years. if you study land masses at geologic time, it’s easy to understand. If you study the solar system at galactic time, it’s easy to understand. If you study man at tribal time, it’s easy to understand. If you study technologies at technological time, it’s easy to understand. But if you teach these things all as a cacophony of unrelated events without a surrounding narrative it’s confusing as hell. Our myths make history seem long, mystical and confusing. But history of man’s evolution once we develop domestication is pretty simple. Before that it’s actually trivial, because it’s such a slow process. What humanists won’t like is that each wave of increasingly aggressive human wiped out the previous wave of less aggressive people.

    THE IMMIGRATION SOLUTION USED BY ESTONIA

    Stateless persons: 88,076 (2014); note – following independence in 1991, automatic citizenship was restricted to those who were Estonian citizens prior to the 1940 Soviet occupation and their descendants;

    Thousands of ethnic Russians remained stateless when forced to choose between passing Estonian language and citizenship tests or applying for Russian citizenship;

    One reason for demurring on Estonian citizenship was to retain the right of visa-free travel to Russia;

    Stateless residents can vote in local elections but not general elections; stateless parents who have been lawful residents of Estonia for at least five years can apply for citizenship for their children before they turn 15.

    —“New institutions, or the demise of old institutions, alter incentives and consequently mechanically affect material behavior and reproductive behavior, and metaphysically affecting spiritual condition. The resulting changes in material and reproductive behavior can be immense and rapid – as the normative changes in family support and reproductive behavior over the last 50-75 years illustrate. The spiritual changes are less rapid, perhaps due in some part to cultural inertia and to genetic memory as 50 generations of megalomaniacs and charming psychopaths were caught out and punished by their peers in the nobility and church.”— Karl Brooks
