Those older civilizations of pre-history were not perfect. But they were much better than we give them credit for, and in many ways much better than our modern technological patriarchal brutalistic one.

For the most part, those people spent less time working. They socialized. They didn't have much hierarchy. They were, overall, much less violent.

Our modern society is the result of our species taking a wrong turn thousands of years ago. We need to turn back, rediscover our common humanity, and repair our Earth now. But only if we want to survive and want to DESERVE to survive.

Thank you, Katie, for this article.
