the 2 davids’ worldview is fascinating and this book is full of radical ideas, which don’t seem that radical if you stop to think about them. of course human history is full of complex societal structures, and the world hasn’t devolved in a straight line. i found the narrative to be compelling and even optimistic, with recurring figures like kandiaronk as our new heroes. the central thesis was explored with nuance and an occasional dose of snark directed at their contemporaries. great read!
