How do you see anarchy in the past (like, say, in ancient Rome)?
… Not to be contentious, but ancient Rome was not anarchy in any meaningful sense.
Okay, I might have worded that bad. What I meant was how do you see historical societies that were hierarchical, like ancient Rome, going anarchical instead?
IMO, we were not psychologically prepared as a species to master agriculture so quickly.
So the problem is dismatch between psychological and material development?





Didn’t know about Indus civilisation. Very interesting!
