Reference to Genesis 3:22, an easter egg in the bible which shows that the snake actually told Eve the truth.

@cjd @ZeroSum06 this assumes you believe the bible is literal not myth. The truth was that the snake was capital/patriarchy/tribalism
I was not raised religious, so I can't make myself "see" the bible as fact - but I'm still very admirative of it's ability to organize 2000 years of the most advanced civilizations on the planet.
@cjd @ZeroSum06 and that also shows that you think "civilization" is good. And I challenge WHICH civilizations are good for the people and the planet and not just the wallets of the Masters.
Well, the civilization you (the general you) prefers is the one you choose to live in. If you really like another one better, it's easy enough in this modern world to just move.

@cjd @ZeroSum06 When I was young, I spent 5 months in Spain. I LOVED Barcelona, even more than Paris. I met a Spanish doctor a beautiful man from a rich family that marketed dialysis machines, he wanted to marry me and have me work France and the UK for him. But Spain - a married woman couldn't hold property in 1978. So I refused. I could have thought that through better. I could have married him in Canada, got right to abode in the UK because three of my grandparents and my father were born in Britain, and had an ENTIRELY different life. I was just about to start my legal career in Canada, which turned out to be as anti climatic as it goes, but whatever. The choices we make.
