Watching Sapolsky's pod, I'm on number six.
.
I swear, he's the same sort as me only smarter, he doesn't seem to think Autism is an actual thing, but I feel like I could easily get him to say that Allism sure is, because it's everything he talks about in his globalizing thing, punishment/rewards/meritocracy, I suppose he's too famous and connected to just bark it like I do, but he seems to know. 😇
He - Sapolsky - places the beginning of violence and inequity with farming, that surpluses created inequities - and I let this idea go, I mean it's how I started the live toot session that became the book, but I had to change my mind and go back and start again.
.
Farming existed for millennia before someone invented war.
.
That theory is neurology dependent, doesn't need a "why," for most folks, the surplus "created" the inequity, what, you mean people didn't? What I call Allistic science, that, and again, I fantasize I could pull Robert out of it.
.
I mean, "surpluses," exist in nature too, don't they, nomads and hunter gatherers deal with surpluses all the time, like when the salmon return or some such.

I listened to episodes four through seven today, and they've talked about his "no free will," business a few times, once was making the qualitative distinction between, "predetermined," and "determined," and I think . . .
.
I think "determined," just means part of the real world, trapped in at least one causal stream, "determined by," something is synonymous with "caused by," something, I think?
.
I think he's just trying to tell people with severe, uh . . . modernism that they will never be "free," of the real world and some consequences?
.
I mean, I see a need for this lesson also, I'm sorry to say.
