Benjamin's Share: the Hadzabe tribe has no chiefs
From Benjamin: The Hadzabe Tribe in Tanzania is a completely Egalitarian society and I think that's wild. There are so many strange emergent behaviours that come out of this philosophy:
- There's awesome photos of children arguing with elders around a campfire for any tribe decision. It's strange thinking that kids could sway a decision of a tribe, and that elders potentially with more information have to convince and debate to persuade.
- By age five, children gather up to 50% to 60% of their own daily calories themselves
- Gender differences exist, but they do not become inequality. There's no hierarchy and no power dynamic at all.
It's eye-opening to think that this could be a way of doing life considering we generally live in a place with hierarchy across so many dimensions. Very cool
