I would not deny climate science …
Btw 800 million year ago there was another period when temperature rose because of high co2 emission from vulcanic activity
Earth lost 90% of biodiversity and it tooks 10 million year before getting back to almost normal. So what we do now will impact hundreds if not thousands of future human generations
Indeed at some point humans will self govern through morale and ethics without need of a central authority
It is illegal to reincarnate without government permission !
On August 3, 2007, China's State Administration for Religious Affairs issued a decree that all the reincarnations of tulkus of Tibetan Buddhism must get government approval, otherwise they are "illegal or invalid"

Wampum can be viewed as an early form of decentralized currency used by Indigenous peoples in North America, particularly among the Iroquois and Algonquian tribes. Unlike modern money controlled by central banks or governments, wampum's value was determined by the collective trust and agreement within and between these communities.
There was no single governing body that issued or regulated wampum. Its worth was established by the social consensus of those who used it.
Wampum was widely accepted across various tribes and even by European settlers for trade, treaties, and ceremonial purposes.
The value of wampum was rooted in its cultural significance and the labor-intensive process required to create it, making it a trusted medium of exchange within decentralized networks of trade.

Babylon and decentralized medicine
In Babylon, when someone fell ill, they were taken to the marketplace because there were no doctors available. People passing by would stop and offer advice based on their own experiences with similar illnesses. They would suggest remedies that had worked for them or for others they knew. It wasn’t allowed for anyone to pass by without asking about the illness and giving some advice. This communal approach ensured that medical knowledge was shared and accessible to everyone.

Almost 2500 years ago Herodotus wrote
“If one were to offer men to choose the best customs in the world, each group, after examining the rest, would choose their own, convinced that their own customs are by far the best.”
Right words !
### Socrates: Corrupting the Youth
#freedom #illegal #challangethestatusquo
In 399 BC, Socrates was accused of corrupting the youth of Athens. His method of relentless questioning encouraged young people to challenge traditional beliefs and authority figures, which many saw as a threat to societal norms. This intellectual influence led to his trial and condemnation. Despite defending his approach as a pursuit of true wisdom, Socrates was sentenced to death by hemlock. His legacy endures, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and questioning the status quo.
Herodotus, often referred to as "The Father of History," made a famous observation about war in his work "Histories." The quote is:
"In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons."
This poignant sentence encapsulates the tragic reversal of the natural order brought about by the horrors of war
