And then once they make beer, they create different stone circles.

And then somehow it changes.

And we can see clearly how it changes in the Sumerian high culture when beer then becomes a business.

Beer is being done by the priests, by the ruling class, or ruling class emerges.

Monasteries often brew beer.

And that was also the case in the Sumerian high culture.

They make beer.

They labeled the beer like the temple that would make the beer.

The beer would be attributed to that temple.

It would be sold.

So that temple kind of rises in status, makes money.

So that's how hierarchies started up.

So the hierarchy...

Which is the big problem right now that we have these hierarchies, that we have these kings everywhere that kind of steal our money or at least make it very difficult for us as humans to organize on an egalitarian planetary scale, which is our only chance for survival.

if we at one point overcome the hierarchies, overcome the nation states and create a planetary, probably AI-assisted, open-source AI-assisted planetary society, and everyone has the same political rights, there's no more borders, there's a planetary minimum income, so no one is starving, everyone has at least what everyone needs, which is totally possible.

It's just a way

It's just a problem of organizing and of breaking the resistance of those who don't like that.

And there's a lot of resistance, obviously.

I mean, I'm talking about what's happening on the planet in 50 years, not what's going to happen tomorrow.

But that is where we slowly are moving towards.
