@MissConstrue But there are historians who claim that this dynamic is not new.
David #Graeber & David #Wengrow presented a theory of #anthropology that posits this dynamic has been present throughout history.
Civilisational flourishing is grounded in co-operation, but authoritarians eventually arrive to take it over by role-playing as if they were always a part of it. This leads to a short-lived peak.
What Graeber & Wengrow saw always followed though, was loss & ruin, not success.

#Minoan religion and arts are profoundly not interested in the self-perpetuating, power-hungry ego. What they celebrate is the opposite: the ritually-induced release from individuality, and an ecstacy of being that is overtly erotic and spiritual at the same time (ek-stasis, or “standing beyond oneself”)—a cosmos that both nurtures and ignores the individual, that vibrates with inseparable sexual energies and spiritual epiphanies.

“Public torture, in seventeenth-century Europe, created searing, unforgettable spectacles of pain and suffering in order to convey the message that a system in which husbands could brutalize wives, and parents beat children, was ultimately a form of love… It seems to us that this connection – or better perhaps confusion – between #care and #domination is utterly critical to the larger questions of how we lost the ability freely to recreate ourselves by recreating our relationships with one another. It is critical, that is, to understanding how we got stuck, and why these days we can hardly envisage our own past or future as anything other than a transition from smaller to larger cages.”

Talking of #CheeringOneselfUp I'm working out how to incorporate #Graeber and #Wengrow in my lecture on #Agglomeration this week. It's hard to summarise #Anarchism

Currently reading/listening David #Graeber and David #Wengrow.s book 'The Dawn of Everything'.
Super insightful take on how the way we tell our story requires fundamental changes in perspective after all. Very inspiring and thought-provoking book! Highly recommended.
