(re-read) David & David have a passage about 1/3 of the way into Chapter 3, Unfreezing the Ice Age where they overstate their case about the difference between individual & dialogic consciousness ("neuroscientists say we spend most of our time on autopilot, remaining conscious for in average 7 seconds"). the section is great otherwise, but I'm curious where this bit of (to my understanding) pop psychology came from?

"you have observed that we lack judges. what is the reason for that? well, we never bring lawsuits against one another. why? because we made a decision neither to accept nor make use of money. why? the reason is this: we are determined not to have [punitive] laws, because since the world was a world our ancestors have been able to live content without them." -Kondiaronk
