Soo much complete bullshit from Zenaan as usual. See below for those others interested in knowledge.

Well that's the question isn't it...
Humans seem prima facie inclined to engage in transactions of "currency" (e.g. fiats) or "money" (fiats, gold and silver coin, digital coin, etc).
As we recently learnted from Jordan Peterson, hierarchies are rather fundamental to our biology, and indicate strongly the pyramidal distribution of wealth, status and mating opportunities.
AKA "skewed distribution of wealth".
Off the top of my head:
People have been around for hundreds of thousands of years and have lived in all sorts of different civilizations and social structures. The world is of much bigger scope than Zenaan permits; humans have much more range than benzo addict Jordan Peterson yelling about lobsters and hoping to hoard even more commodities/bananas.
Indus Valley Civilization lacked military/security forces, very little wealth disparity, very little hierarchy, no priests, very peaceful.
"very little hierarchy" Certainly not none. Choose any value, and you immediately, inherently create the following hiearchies: - the hiearchy of individuals capable of embodying and living that value to a greater/ lesser degree that other individuals - same for groups in relation to other groups "Who's the greater Buddhist" You can throw straw men around till the cows come home ("Zenaan does not permit a bigger scope in the world that the specific sentence he spoke...") and you can assert similar false limitations of thought and conversation upon anyone else you choose (Jordan Peterson in your above paragraph) but doing these things just demonstrates your position in the hierarchy of those capable of making an ass of themselves by using straw men arguments. Knock yourself out...
