Thank you. It is rare that I see someone speaking about the emergence of behavioral modernity. It is a very fascinating and important topic and I could spend weeks discussing it. But..
Human behavior is becoming exponentially more inorganic. We have evolved both physically and psychologically as a species over the ages, and our understanding of these changes ( particularly cognitively) gives us insight on the workings of our involuntary instinctual mind. Essentially we understand the default settings now. This is how "sciences"in the 19th century were able to advance the concept of biohacking and set the stage for the development of mass society in the 20th century. Every symbol that was once human has been replaced with new meanings, a complete transvaluation of everything into a simulacrum.
My point, we really do not know the current natural state of man nor how far we actually have to go as a species to realize a just future where everyone matters. Currently our entire social reality of mass society is manufactured and it is driven by schizogenesis which is inherently tribal.
Understanding this, I have far more hope for us than what I did before I "got it". This environment is all artificial. We evolved millions of years based upon social cooperation and natural law, we were never this hateful. If the same narrative machines that inundate us with negativity would do the opposite and embraced truth instead of deception.. our species would change overnight. When we boil it all away, mass society formation is the ultimate culture war.
You touch on a lot of topics here. The development of the human mind meeting manipulation, going back to the days of state sponsored religion to achieve conformity and stability among populaces. Ancient Rome and Greece for example. In Greece Socretes was charged(and found guilty of) not believe in gods. His philosophical capabilities threatened the status quo. Fast forward with psychologists like Frued or Mazlow, you see an understanding of the human being at a base level. In the past we were nomadic and before tribalism we lived in family units and small groups. Now, here I am writing a post to a person that could be anywhere in the world. I wish you no harm, that you are safe and happy. I am certain you have done me no harm and as a fellow member of the human race, I wish you the best. That should be natural to not be violent towards others. Bombing people around the world, destroying their homes, infrastructure, etc, is horrible. Wars where people are killed is also horrible.
You mentioned a class war, we are now dividing ourselves into smaller and smaller groups to fight each other. Everyone seems to want to fight each other, race, religion, political affiliation, socio economic position etc. Why? We are not each others enemies as groups, we are being pushed and encourage to harm others to the point of destroying the world and ourselves, for the sake of rich people's Russian roulette.
Contest creates rivalry, by design. It's an institution best abolished as a source of useless waste, rather than celebrated as a sacred and infallible divination ritual.
The ungovernable are often more persuadable and less petulant than the propaganda makes them out to be; just you can't buy them from a distance.
The more people we have the greater number of them will fail in competition, by mere odds. That by percentage most will not succeed, hence niches in business where they try to avoid over saturation of the market. People logically try to do the same, but we are limited by our resources which the vast majority have relatively little. Competitive rivalry really is something that exploits humanity, most westerners often seem to say they are the hardest working, most intelligent, etc, no matter their social standing or education due to propaganda being effective. Businesses focus on the needs of the customer or exploiting their wants making them feel important. Once we value each other more we might cooperate more...might.
