Part of Society? - For Akzle

[Akzle]

The difference is, rather than negotiating a fair rate like we do now, you just bashed me with a rock and took my rug.

fair rate... hah.
...don't know much about economies, do ya?

[SMOKEU]

Nearly the exact same behaviour went on.

I had an animal skin I slept under... you had a twig you used to dig for roots with.

Naturally I would not swap my hard to get rug for your find anywhere twig.

The difference is, rather than negotiating a fair rate like we do now, you just bashed me with a rock and took my rug.

No you wouldn't... you'd exploit a weakness as soon as you could find one, then you would slay me and take my loot.

I do agree that there was cooperation; but it would have been spawned from the desire for more. If I was too big for you to kill, you would have recruited a helper to bash me at the same time.

So pretty much what the common coon is like these days then? Except instead of rugs and sticks, it's big screen TVs and nice cars.

[imdying]

Yes, somewhat, but it's not actually race related... most whiskey tango are exactly the same.

[mashman]

Of course with the brute force, that and cunning were all they had more than 4500 years ago.

But yes, the desire for more... why be warm, or fed, when you can be warm and fed? Why not be warm and fed if the only thing stopping you is me?

Community would have been fueled by this, the desire not to be bashed to death in your sleep. But people still want/need things... thus hello Mr Commerce.

And they also formed community's.

Surely it's be better to have both you an I being warm and fed by dividing our labor and thus expending less energy. It's entirely up to you if you would prefer to be a solitary creature. I can see the benefit of the division of labor, but can't see the benefit in having more than I can eat and extra shelter that I can't carry, or expend too much energy carrying...

Whilst I agree that that would be a reason for community, however I doubt that it was the primary reason for it. Dunno why value came into it. Some dickhead believing that their labor was worth more than someone else's probably.

Now I get bashed just by turning on the telly. Talk about a severe concussion, I'm still recovering
4500 yrs ago we didnt have Jesus and Satan competing for souls.... villages where selling crap on every corner is the norm, out of control
Then recently some intergalactic idiot sends in the 'angels' to try and calm things down.

I suspect you couldn't control a piss-up in a brewery, and that's the nice version.
