My philosophy still ponders what inspired(?) humankind to begin an agrarian way of life 10-12,000 years ago. Build civilizations? The beginning of war, pestilence, civil strife, and ruling classes, etc. Did aliens have a cruel hand in it? Can we escape this dynamo? (Industrial civilization that we were all born into) Hmmm...
Figured: flint edged weapons, tools; fermentation & ice "distilling" along with psychoactive plants, spinning, weaving & knitting during ice-age migration ALL enabled even the tiniest female to kill inebriated males in their sleep. The rest followed, once guys finally caught on?
interesting questions. i think that technologies from hoes to computers are tools that help us build and run a society but don't necessarily determine how we we related to each other in that society.
