People older than us of cause have more social experience.  Some seem to extrapolate this long beyond a human lifetime.  It is like they believed people living hundreds of years ago had hundreds of years of life experience.  I would want to argue it was rather the opposite.  People who lived hundreds of years ago had very much less experience.  In the next few blog posts, I will explain why.

Actually, their living conditions prevented people form learning much about each other.  The very most never came anywhere near their human potential.  Common folks were mind-bogglingly naive.  Monks and nuns were not only that but often also hateful.  The upper classes may have been more sophisticated.  However, they had no idea that any other social organisation had ever existed.  Consequentially, they mistook their own society for a divine order.

I find typical hunter-gatherers sympathetic compared with far too many agrarian peoples.  Certainly, they have all human flaws which are biologically inevitable.  But they are free of all those myths ultimately resulting from positions of absolute power.  I have already explained how some of those arose.  However, I will explain more of such.
