Ancient people relied on coastal environments to survive the Last Glacial Maximum
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
It has been clear to me that the first phase of human cultural evolution ( 45,000 BP through 10,000 BP ) took place alongside the marine environment for multiple reasons. Not least the availability of ample food tresources in the form of shell fish. The best possible proof of this comes from the Pacific Northwest. The mountains were proof of interference by external tribes for over ten thousand years. That is exactly what every coast line looked like until the invention of agriculture itself. That the Northwest produced huge communities is actually impressive but again a me...
LAO TZU’S 2500 year old message to the people of the future
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
It is remarkable that he even then addressed the dialectic between intellectual knowing and spiritual knowing and warned against its separation. yet it is our nature to seek the dialectic and to engage one side. The foundation of human wisdom is understanding this as error, but also identifing the true dialectic. Socialism versus Capitalism are both intellectual constructs and not a true dialectic but derived from the same mother. Thus the actual inability to properly separate them in practise. Rational constructs infrorm the practical in life. Spiritual constructs inform re...
