People need to just chill out. Fear, anger, aggression. The path to the dark side are they
Im changing my approach cos the fear and paranoia is contagious in here and spreads like wildfire.
So instead of starting from modern times I’ll start from ancient times.
Many things define civilization but im taking written language as the major component in this case as it tells us the history…
What are the facts. What do we know
The oldest documented civilizations date back to around 6,000BC and they all started with 2 major changes; agriculture and religion. After this the rest follows. Written language, mathematics, money, trading, taxes and all the other things that make up society. Scientific theory tells us that modern man has walked the earth for 200,000 years.
I’m interested in how humans started civilization? How did they live before this agricultural era? What caused this huge shift from being hunter/gatherers to farming people? Why it took so long for mankind to start building societies? And why do we always see some kind of religion? Its worth noting that many eastern religions don’t have a god.
I have a thought or 2. But that’s all they are, thoughts. That’s all anyone has. There are a few theories out there, easy to find.
But before I tell my theory I want to hear what people here think. These are just speculative thoughts wer making here
If we suppose religion is a man made construct then we have to ask why? Why do all these ancient civilizations from across the globe have these different religions?
A sobering insight into live before civilization
