Funny, but my point is that if humans could’ve always had the power of telepathy, we wouldn’t need to invent languages and probably neither create most of the ideologies, tribalism, or belief systems necessary to gather a group of people together as one. If we didn’t have the capability to hide our true intentions, we might’ve evolved to follow the person / idea purely because they make most sense
tribalism comes before language, as evidenced by observation of any animals that live in groups
because as evidenced by popularization of internet, granting everyone instant knowledge of everything invariantly turns society into meritocracy, and in no case you get rednecks online (tm)
“instant knowledge of everything”, except people’s true intentions, that’s my point
