What…? The “noble savages” are indigenous peoples and it’s a modern idea.
What the fuck what I said has anything to do with that?
Are you saying all non-statist and hierarchical societies are like American indigenous peoples? Or that all American indigenous peoples were stateless or egalitarian? Both are extremely wrong.
Just so you know, I was referring to civilisations like the Indus Valley Civilisation and Cucateni Trypillia. Not “noble savages” AT ALL…
Because that’s the default. We have to learn to be better.
Nothing indicates that’s the default… we had less war and violence before the emergence of the nation state and hierarchical power structures.
Ah, the old “noble savage” canard.
