First, possum, please dont see this as a criticism of you, bc you gave me the book
But i posted it, so i give my honest review, beyond you
First if i hear deconstruct another time, i will dig up some french philosophers and feed them apples
So much deconstructionism
Okai, first chapters were interesting curren science, altho information density medium
Good book can recommend for mine for instance
Then it goes on a hike for 200-max 400 years circling arround culture
To then land on the existing topic, as if it was needed
Ignoring everything earlier
It makes verry valid points about trauma and poli relationships
But could have been a flowchart
Like i shall not denegrate artistic achievement,
But it misses key points in making its scope appealing to a airport, i need something to read audience
Like its a great book for its target audience, i am just bratty that it uses orwells, oh no there are no razor blades anymore, last chapters, oh and here is the main info you came for, but i had a specific page count from my publisher or something, and needed to put half the social structure in
, without a skip to content flag somewhere
It assumes monogamy as a given first assumption, not looking any further than the Christian paradigm
Bc if it would, it would be historically obvious to why monogamy was implemented in face of power hierarchys based on large family tribes and beeing able to track populations in a roman style of accounting
Agriculture, the shift from nomadism to agriculturalism
Obviously poly works, it was the main driver for eons
Monogamism is the new structural development
Like it just wooshed its best arguments and points of alignment by limitation of scope, to not become unrelatable to a specific audience
It was the churches attempt to level the cultural playingfield by going
All that value piling up at these families, lets rather pile that up on individuals, that’s more distributed
Like i am not threw, but it fails to answer the core question
What do we do with all these sexually repressed ppl now lacking the social peer review
Its eurocentric
All in all, great book, can recommend
