I went through your list. Good stuff. But may I recommend Stanislaw Lem and the Strugatsky brothers? These are a bit slow burning but ultimately much more rewarding than 99.9% of the stuff out there. East Europe elevated Sci fi to literature. A very different evolution.

May I recommend The Dawn of Everything (book) by Wengrow and Graeber and also Meditations on Molloch by Scott Alexander (blog post) for looking at this question in a deep and nuanced way.

I love the phrase "human nature" because whenever someone uses it I can just disregard everything else they say. It's a fantasy like the Tooth Fairy or the Browns's Super Bowl chances but for the most annoying people on earth.

Hi Nate I'm an anthropologist and this is extremely incorrect!
Humans evolved to be interdependent because we are a social species. Capitalism is a system of infinite growth in a finite environment, the only "natural" comparison that comes close to that is cancer

Been thinking more about this and can’t help but wonder that more people need to read this Marshall Sahlins essay. Both Joe and Nate are making a deeply ideological point despite portraying it to be logically self-evident.
Sahlin’s essay is an important critique of that ideological understanding of history. The point is not to romanticize pre-modern societies as some rustic utopias but to question our premises of progress and development.

In everyday communities and institutions – families, universities, businesses, clubs – we cannot help but engage in politics, in the sense of influencing or making collective decisions. I think political philosophy does better when it turns its attention to those communities and institutions smaller than the state, where most of our political actions take place: political philosophy should be a philosophy not just of the state but of office politics, of academic politics.
In that regard, I've noticed an interesting commonality between two works whose authors likely wouldn't see themselves as having anything in common: Graeber and Wengrow's anarchist anthropology The Dawn of Everything, and the standards set out by the Project Management Institute. Graeber and Wengrow look at a wide range of anthropological and archaeological sources on how humans organize their societies; the Project Management Institute examines how an individual (a project manager) can get a group of people to succeed at a collective institutional goal.
