Which reminds me in a spurious way that, for some years, the only place
on the Internet with a sane reference to Hakim Bey was in our philosophy
section...

Hakim Bey has an elegant contrast that sets it forth rather neatly:
What we like about Palaeolithic life:
* the elegant laziness of hunter/gatherer society
* the 2-hour workday
* the obsession with art, dance, poetry and amorousness
* the "democratization of shamanism"
* the cultivation of perception
in short, culture.
What we dislike about civilisation can be deduced from the following
progression:
1. the "Agricultural Revolution"
2. the emergence of caste
3. the City and its cult of hieratic control
4. slavery
5. dogma
6. imperialism
7. [?]

True, that doesn't have much reason to be associated with this thread,
but I figure as far as thread digression goes, it's pretty close to
relevant to the underlying oekonux themes.
cheers, Rich.
