It’s definitely not controlling my life. But I don’t want to be dragged into pointless debates because of a connotation I’m not aware of.
It’s interesting how consistently cultures rise to empire and then attribute success to genetics. When what it really is, more than anything, is an alignment of cultural practices and values with a technological environment at a particular moment in history.
The quest of historians and philosophers is to find that set of values and practices that are immune to the changes in technology and environment over time.
