I love seeing the Noble Savage myth debunked...its like watching an old movie over and over ...and over, as if it resets itself and just goes round and round...

I've also studied much of the hunter-gatherer psychology and tribal customs, in various parts of the world. Its far less 'noble' or romantic than Westerners think. its about survival, pragmatism, social mobility and small-band cohesion.

What does this have to do with Peterson's comment, or the article he's linking to? He's pointing out that the common notion that hunter-gatherers lived in an idyllic society is incorrect. It's important, because this notion is sometimes used in a critique of industrialisation.

Interesting. TY. But how? How does an academic justify pushing an idea he/she knows to be skewed? No code of ethics?

l took and anthropology course last year at my local community college during which the professor presented to us all these "facts". She even went so far as to assign us an essay by Jared Diamond in which he balmes agriculture for war, misogyny, inequality, and tummy aches....

To be honest, agriculture had quite a set of savagery to deal with too, early farmers were starving left and right, agriculture had a long way to develop to the point where it was a clear winner. And it allowed for more ressources to wage war and to fight over. But a winner it is
