humans lived in small communes for most of their history.

the renaissance wasnt people deciding suddenly to be rational and inventive. the feudal religious system was dying and stopped being the limiting factor.

capitalism is our modern day limiting factor, the one that encourages us to be greedy to survive when we dont need it anymore.
