Quote:[size=14px]Maps your evaluation of incest is flawed and bogus[/size]
there is a reason why for everything....
the incest taboo was not put there by god. it is the result of human activity, established to meet some purpose deemed important by human beings.
and the answer is simple..must be simple... in the end as is always the case. {Occams Razor}
at points of qualitative social change..revolutionary times..it is always marked by the passage from the old to the new...that the old has in fact grown old and dangerous and society must move forward and as is the nature of human society it takes a revolution to achieve the necessary change.
such change can be traumatic..some lose and others win. but society is moved forward.
if the content of society has been exploitative for a long period then there has been great suffering all along, the relations in society have been totally violent and therefore those violent relations of social forces in society gurantee that any revolutionary change would be/will be violent..extremely so.
there is social trauma caused every minute of every day in the workings of exploitative society..not only by direct violence but in the routine workings of society given the prejudice and exploitation, that guides the behaviour of people in regular everyday matters.
it is known there was a general matriarchal social organisation, that it was communal and early,prolly the first form of social organization.
{ some argue that europe was patriarachal from the start..that europe also was pastoral and that the fatherhood and pastoral economy go hand in hand }
be that as it may the motherhood was clearly widespread and dominant.
on what ideological framework was the matriarchy built or evolved..how did it come to be and why did all the people believe it and follow it..as all the people followed the kings/monarchy in feudalism, or capitalism today?
and how did it change into the fatherhood that is our current social dispensation..the fatherhood we can now recognise as done, exhausted and about to be evolved into another form of social organisation?
and if so.. what are the options that the fatherhood may evolve into, that the fatherhood itself gave rise to... as the means of dissolution of any social organization is born in the bosom of that very social form of social organisation itself...and why these options and not others?
there is no damm mysticism in all this.... solid questions about solid reality that have answers in reality, some of which are known..which is why we can ask more, for if we know what we do know, we know also, that there are answers to all questions...that there is no mystery and all it is, is that we may not have answers to some questions now but that we will in time as investigations continue
