My brother wrote this (very sweet) poem about toddler me and according to Graeber and Wengrow, I was on to something
Katie Armstrong is her name, and when she’s bad she takes no blame. Her mind is small and full of joy. She’s very cute, the real McCoy. Mischief is her middle name, and she always plays a funny game. Run and hide and peekaboo, run in circles with one shoe. Katie Armstrong is her name, and seems to think that life’s a game. Farewell to Humanity’s Childhood: Makes Himself. Apart from the sexist language, this is the spirit we wish to invoke. We are projects of collective self-creation. What if we approached human history that way? What is we treat people, from the beginning, as imaginative, intelligent, playful creatures who deserve to be understood as such? What if, instead of telling a story about how our species fell from some idyllic state of equality, we ask how we came to be trapped in such tight conceptual shackles that we can no longer even imagine the possibility of reinventing ourselves?
