I have long noted that prior to the advent of agriculture, society was largely egalitarian because everyone had to make what they needed by hand. Centralization and the introduction of food surpluses made war the primary evolutionary force, weeding out dissent/intelligence, and advancing conformity/brutality.
Decentralization of the means of production of the blessings of civilization, particularly of means of security, promise to restore humanity to that egalitarian society we evolved in and for by rendering armed gangs of thugs as obsolete as overlords parasitizing collective production.
Thanks!
