Honestly, for me it’s Sarah Hrty. She’s done some really good research on alloparenting. She’s been basically saying that it’s literally in our genes to help eachother out. Because survival isn’t just self-preservation, it’s survival of the pack, or community for us naked apes.

More broadly, I'm just endlessly amused or discouraged, depending on my current mood, by how many "anarchists" depend on nominal authorities to tell them what they and everyone else may, may not, must or must not believe.

I think it’s more about something you can’t just explain in a few sentences. So it’s sort of like “read that book then you’ll get it”.

I don't.
Oh, certainly in some cases that's more or less what it is - essentially that this person said it better than I ever could.
But for all too many, it really does seem to be simply that their their thinking never stopped being fundamentally authoritarian - that even as self-proclaimed "anarchists," they're still operating under the unquestioned presumption that individuals are rightly forced to align with some particular set of ideas, and the only question is which one.

It's good to read books. It's not good to just parrot shit you learn from books. A famous scene basically covers why you shouldn't be unoriginal.
