    What’s the lie? In general, throughout written history (and even before), humanity has been tribal and violent.

    The fact that we live in one of the most peaceful times in recorded history is a pretty damning statement on our past behavior.

      The fact that a few violent psychopaths managed to subjugate large sections of society doesn’t make it anymore natural than claiming natural order of bovine is to live in a factory farm.

      It was right in front of you the whole time. All you had to do was start questioning the first lies you were told as a child and not to accept them as gospel.
