Anarcho-primitivism meets psychological science to provide a unique
perspective on the mismatch between our evolved human nature and
the demands of life in a global industrial civilization. Our
sophisticated psychological systems reflect a finely tuned response
to more than two million years of life in small, broadly
egalitarian foraging bands. Civilization represents a catastrophic
disruption of this response, redirecting our natural proclivities
in the service of a planet-devouring machine. But all is not lost.
The very elements of our psychology that keep us yoked to
civilization's drivetrain are also the source of our potential
liberation, lynchpins that can be released as we work to reclaim
our freedom.
