The ultimate battle between good and evil can be reduced to tribal vs. "There is no anthropological opposite. We generally recognise four levels of sociocultural complexity: bands, tribes, chiefdom's, and states. However, bands and tribes are egalitarian and kin-based societies. Sometimes we refer to them both collectively as “tribal” societies, or “tribal level” societies. Chiefdom's and states are stratified societies and tend, as they get more complex, to become more property based rather than kin-based. Some consider chiefdom's to be weak states." The opposite of tribal is state-level. And the opposite of egalitarian is stratified, and of primitive bands and tribes the opposite is complex government. Complex not being synonymous with beneficial. We must be clear on this, it is not.
These old blog pages & posts are to modern internet explorers as the tombs of Akenahten were to my grandparents. Well, perhaps not so dramatic or romanticised; more as the people of the Kemet were to colonial anthropologists. The rapidity at which our society, our species has advanced from the material to the digital electronic world amazes me. Raves were the transitional medium. People don't recognise it as such, but humans first concession to inner exploration from external stimuli, exempting drug exploration, which could be considered internal stimuli, was musical. EDM was programming language code for the evolution of our species.
