You noticed the facts, but completely failed to understand how the facts came to be.

> In the same way that they came up with the idea of divine being(s) in the image of man that rule nature.

Thanks to the diligent efforts of the Priesthood, of course, who never cease in their 'education' of humanity as to the 'truth.'

Before the world came under centralized control of the Priesthood, there were many tribes of 'Nephelim'--or no-faith-God-people. (ne-phe-el-im.)

(Nope, it has nothing to do with aliens. Guess who is telling that lie also?)

> In the same way that patriarchy rose amongst them all.

Not among my ancestors the Cherokee. They were a matriarchy. They were wiped out (genocided) by foreigners who were controlled by a paternal Priesthood.

In our own history, we were once ruled by such a priesthood. They were called the Nicotani, or Ani-Kutani. They grew insolent and arrogant and eventually crossed the line when one of them raped a man's wife. They were subsequently exterminated, to the last man.

> In the same way that a shared currency was deemed necessary.

By whom? Who made that decision for you? Is it you who is deciding to get rid of cash and make everything digital too, so that you can be even more easily tracked, controlled, monitored...enslaved?

> Escpecially in matters of governance, there is something to be said about how humans like to organise themselves.

That's just the thing. It's not you organizing yourself.

Sorry, I don't quite understand your argument. There will always be people with different ideas. That is what makes us human. My argument is that such ideas and the societies that are organised from them are quite fleeting (as noted by your matriarch example). Genocidal priesthood may have forced people in one region to believe in divinity, but I doubt that with the technology at the time, they would have enabled the expansion of so many other religion - abrahamic religions, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikh etc etc.

Again, I did not come up with currency and it does not matter if I personally believed in it. Enough people did and now we have capitalism. The people organised themselves, and if it is not what they wanted, history has a recording of many many revolutions and uprisings.
