POPSEgalitarian revolution in the Pleistocene? In humans, a secondary transition from egalitarian societies to hierarchical states took place as the first civilizations were emerging. How can it be understood in terms of the model discussed? One can speculate that technological and cultural advances made the coalition size much less important in controlling the outcome of a conflict than the individuals' ability to directly control and use resources (e.g. weapons, information, food) that strongly influence the outcomes of conflicts.

POPSThe Holy Leper And The Bisexual Christian
"Jesus the holy leper speaks to my bisexuality by offering me a model for life outside the boundaries of destructive hierarchical dualisms. Jesus does not appear to have spent much energy worrying about the impossibility of his status, since there was too much Kingdom work to do and since his experience was that nothing was impossible with God. I can, for example, strive to make God's love manifest in all of my relationships, sexual and nonsexual, regardless of the genders involved.

It is not just about NOT being radical on the right or left side of politics....it is all about keeping government, our government, in check, controlling the area experts, the proponents of hierarchical government.
