I'm looking forward to it. Its true that there seems to be an innate drive in man to build and improve stuff. It's not because of the "patriarchy" that men are the one who in large majority built the blockchain technology...or the internet for that matter. It's just the type of thing that interest men.
I personally do not see how anarchism has anything to do with biology and psychology. Isn't anarchism related to a belief that the cohersive use of violence by anyone is fundamentally wrong?
There is nurture and nature involved in this but the nurture side shouldn't be thrown off just because it's based on societal norms that were build over thousands of years. There is some truth about humankind embedded in some of them.
I'm looking forward to this exchange.
Anarchy simply means without leaders or rulers, and I think it's safe to say that the majority of accepted science/psychology/political views are influenced heavily by our leaders and rulers, much more so in the past than now, with the advent of computer/internet.
And of course I wouldn't suggest that nurture be thrown off completely, but eyed warily and constantly lest we fall into the prejudices or bias of our parents and their parents, that stretches all the way back to a thousand years ago when we were stuck in the dark ages. But other aspects of the nurture, which I imagine you'll be covering in this series is absolutely embedded with nuggets of wisdom.
Also, I hope you don't think I implied that man's predilection towards building/repair was as a result of the "patriarchy". I agree with you that it seems to be just the type of thing that interest men... I'm just curious why and I think you'd do a great post analyzing the subject.
I'm already loving this exchange. This is going to be a good if sometimes controversial series, just the way I like it ;)
