In the course of transformation from hunter and gatherers to state controlled agriculture, we have decayed in terms of individual physiology and resilience. The book Primate Change has a lot of detail on this. Our brains and skulls are shrinking, as much as the external biosphere is disappearing. Our genome is not fully engaged in growth and development. Once our relationships to nature and tribe Members fully engaged our entire being. Now we have online abstractions.
As super organisms States and Religions have swallowed our original freedom and independence, within an Eden of nature. We have been embedded in these artificial systems matrix, and conditioned to be fearful at any thought of leaving it, Uber separation anxiety.
Group conformity and outsider fear is built in. Too bad our group aims are emergent, unexpected and globally harmful, following survival but not sustainable memes and broken mental models.
