Really cool quotes but they also didn't have much in the way of academics and professional specializations. Simple solutions to complex problems are doomed to fail and cause harm.
They also fought each other over access to land. We are so much more peaceful than any pre-industrial civilisation
We're still doing that and I would argue that we are no more peaceful, we just now have a NIMBY approach to conflict
Said without irony as the IDF slaughters thousands in order to control access to Gaza. Not to mention Russia and Ukraine and the dozens of other conflicts that the media doesn't cover because their not in places where the West can profit. Industrialization only increased our killing capacity.
Amazing.
