"This is the story of humanity as a whole..."

It is the history of humanity, and history only begins after records begin being kept. History does not include the hundreds of millennia that people lived prior to the advent of agriculture that enabled overlords to parasitize collective labor. Centralization enabled overlords, war, and political power. Decentralization didn't before agriculture arose, and won't when tech advance enables people to themselves produce the blessings of civilization.

You have previously expressed a lack of interest in technological matters, which I can understand. However it is relevant to political power because decentralization of the means of production prevents parasitization of the production of collective labor, because it doesn't require collective labor. When someone makes something they use, there is no profit taken by some capitalist, no taxable event that funds government. The maker keeps what they make, and only they gain the benefit of their productivity. They can share their wealth with whom they choose, but not be robbed of it by overlords. This decentralization is the cutting edge of tech advance in every field of industry. The most advanced tech is the most productive, and outcompetes less productive tech. It is important to understand these principles to understand politics, war, and power today, because these facts cause increasing desperation of overlords who are accelerating the conquest of the world as quickly as possible before their wealth declines and becomes inadequate to achieve that conquest.

The story of humanity as a whole is in process. The end hasn't been written because we're not extinct. After the Younger Dryas caused the extinction of 77 genera of megafauna the food sources that provided thousands of meals with one kill were gone. Humanity was forced to slave away nurturing plants and adopt agriculture, and that created centralization some ten or so millennia ago. Before that, for all the hundreds of millennia that people lived, they were relatively equal, because no one could parasitize collective labor beyond harvesting a mammoth, and people could just go kill another mammoth and avoid dependence on any potential overlord. After we become able to ourselves produce the blessings of modern civil society using distributed table top tech, that relative egalitarian society will again be possible, and the sybaritic wealth overlords desperately seek to maintain, that is the source of their political power, will no longer be able to be parasitized by centralizing production.

Our natural state isn't chattel to overlords. This is a temporary transition from Stone age to Space age technology, and that technological transition is largely complete. We continue to develop and distribute the infrastructure of decentralization, but economically that process began long ago, and approaches the tipping point, the clinal boundary after which it becomes an irreversible state. The story our posterity will read will be of their own sovereignty and the temporary subjugation of humanity for a few millennia under psychopathic overlords that strove to prevent humanity from escaping their control, unsuccessfully. If the story ever ends and the final chapter is written, the vast majority of the tale will be about egalitarian societies and human sovereignty, not sheeple husbanded by profiteers.

Thanks!
