Iconic #Shetland ponies almost certainly come from little #Viking horses, say researchers.
Shetland’s iconic ponies almost certainly come from little Viking horses brought to the islands by the #Norse invaders, according to researchers.
A report by Norwegian #anthropologists suggests this the marauding invaders favoured small horses because they were easier to fit on board #longships.”

"[Marcel] Mauss is trying to undo some of the origin myths of classical economics, so the origin myth is that, you have individuals, they produce stuff, they produce too much stuff, too much of something, but they don't produce everything so they will go and barter, say one chicken for some milk, but you don't need that much milk, so in the end money is created to solve that inconvenience and then everything else emerges from that, banks, credit default swaps, derivatives all emerge from this, addressing this problem of barter. And what #anthropologists can do is say, well, there isn't any evidence that societies based on barter have ever really existed and when you look around you see relationships based on gifting and social obligations of gifting do seem to be everywhere, and those are not relationships between individuals but relationships between groups of people....so you have to look else where to find where money emerges from and the understanding is money emerges from the need to pay taxes, so from states" #NovaraMedia

9 followers · 22 posts · Server kolektiva.socialThe #ParaSocial sector of society is comprised of all the famous people who direct the thoughts of non-famous people, and the #workingclass in particular.
#Celebrity #culture is particularly problematic, but included in the definition is any famous people who influence the thoughts of the masses.
Do we need that structure of famous people to direct us?
Presently our para-social sector is a bunch of frauds propped-up by self-aggrandizing #capitalist media who exploitatively direct the thoughts of the working-class. These are people who oversee all the persistent structural violence of the system with a big smile.
----
We don't need that particularly corrupt form of para-social paradigm, but we do need some structure for imparting ideas that maintain #unity.
#Indigenous cultures have their elders, while in modern culture the para-social structure of famous celebrities, politicians, artists, philosophers, and scientists, etc., represents our form of elders... who we never meet in real life.
It's a disconnected connection. It's a type of leadership that precludes a physical presence.
Strangers direct our thinking in modern culture, which often seems irrational to indigenous people, because it is. We don't know who those people personally, but because they direct the ideas of the masses, we must follow as well, willingly or not.
---
Do we need a para-social sector? Due to the nature of modern culture being highly specialized and needing robust #democratic processes, unfortunately a modern society needs some form of para-social sector. Even in an ideal workers-controlled world there would be need to convey #ideological #information to the masses.
Presently our para-social sector equates to #psychological coercion of the masses, but that is not inevitable.
In the same way we learn to differentiate between reality and imagination , we can and must learn to differentiate between the para-social and the personal.
We have a limit to how many personal relationships we can remember. #Anthropologists say that number is about 150. ...... OK.... If I can only remember 150 relationships, I want them to be real people, not people I will never know.
If you have a #Kanye or someone you don't really know influencing your perceptions of the world, replace them with real people.
