0255 Graeber and Wengrow’s exploration of the dawn of everything<\/em> ends with a cruel joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “state”2b<\/sub>, as defined by social science, cannot indirectly emerge from (and situate) righteousness1aC<\/sub>, while, at the same time, manifesting the characteristics of “domination”2a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how is the contemporary left’s dream of achieving the virtues of liberty, equality and fraternity through the apparatus of the state2b<\/sub><\/em> going to work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus ends the third layer, C:C’, of the author’s wide-ranging exercise in the semitic textual style<\/em>.  The Dawn of Everything<\/em>is contemporary postmodern social science<\/em> at its finest.  The authors start by searching for the origins of social inequality<\/em>.  They end with the promise of a new history of humanity<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These authors do not know what they do not know<\/em>.  But they do suspect this…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0256 …A new history of the world<\/em> awaits.  There is a new way to describe the dawn of everything<\/em>, where “everything” corresponds to “our current Lebenswelt”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, their explorations play out as a dark joke, almost as cruel as the joke that, long ago, a talking serpent plays on a naive young woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My thanks to the authors.  My condolences as well, on more than one level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These comments provide views that dramatically re-present the vistas intimated in David Graeber and David Wengrow’s book.  Welcome to a new age of understanding: The Age of Triadic Relations<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
