What is Egalitarian Culture? What Do Babies Want? Alloparenting?

Four videos looking at elements of human cultural behaviour variations.... with information and wisdom to offer terms of nurturing ourselves, our families, our communities, our land.

The how to maintain a healthy sustainable culture problem is mostly a matter of human to human relationships than it is of a question of technology. 


Power Hierarchy culture generates unhealthy behaviour at scale. This is well evidenced and incontrovertible. This is because Power becomes the means to maintain Power. 


Those who occupy positions of Power will tend to internalise the positions root values which are power and maintenance of power. 'L'Etate, c'est Moi!' and so on. "I represent the institution, not myself, yet I have internalised the institution." That is a profoundly unhealthy psychological state to be in.


Over time, and with wealth the Ruling Hierarchy culture have extracted the ruling class have worked to institutionalise the population into instruments to promote and maintain those values, do the work, fight in the battles. All the time understanding fully that this is oppressive cruelty, that it generates resistance, naturally enough. 


They understand the injustice. And so they live fearful of the majority population, and the maintenance of dominance becomes an endless end in itself, a way of life. 


That is a behavioural and cultural problem.

We have brilliant minds and imaginations set to solve problems by understanding them correctly, these are innate critical thinking skills. 


If those minds are deeply rooted in healthy relationships that nurture, then their efforts will produce nurturing resolutions, if that is materially possible, to avoid avoidable harms. 


We're literally born with that in mind, in evolutionary terms. That is what our DNA and biochemistry is in : a default setting to learn behaviour that is healthy.


To cooperate and live mutual aid is optimally healthy for human species.




An egalitarian culture on a gathering mission, at play. In spite of being surrounded by extinction level threats.

1. What is Egalitarian Culture? The evidence. A talk, and a Q&A.

2. 

What Babies Want - Evolved for Nurturing Brain Development - a moving, inspiring documentary.



3
Allan Schore: the study of neurobiology of brain development.

The carer brain to infant brain relationship and the biology of healthy brain and endocrine development.

No species is evolved for less than optimal biological health of each organism, and for the species.


In my mind, these three subjects intersect to inform a more radical understanding of human health presenting as nurturant behaviour as the biological optimally healthy state, psycho-socially and practically.

In addition, Mothers and Others. Alloparenting and human behavioural evolution.
What are the behavioural implications of evolving for alloparenting?



Alloparenting is when all the members of a group care for all the children, collectively.
It is close correlated with Egalitarian culture.
Healthy human relationships.
Peace.
