Description
The Reciprocity vs. Empire: The Long View Series mini course provides an introduction to the ancestral concept of Reciprocity and how this stands in contradiction to two of the most important historical processes of the last 5,000 years, domination through empire and accumulation through capitalism.
This mini course introduces Reciprocity and its different modalities and scales (individually, communally, between communities, etc.) and provides an orientation to the Long View of history, a methodological perspective that allows one to view the roots of our social problems through historical processes over 5,000 years ago and thus grasp the complexity of our social relations today. Through this introduction to the Long View, viewers get a macro and systematic perspective of the origins of some of our biggest societal issues and how to understand them so that we may begin to transcend them and bring about a more reciprocal world.
This is a living mini course that will continue to evolve. Included in the mini course are interactive videos and exercises, quizzes, timelines, and in the future we plan to host events, include more supplemental material, and build more activities for you to deepen your learning and experiences in relation to the history expanded on here.
**Note: This course is part of the larger Seeds Course and will thus be offered free of charge with the purchase of the Seeds Course. If you want to deepen your understanding and learning, you can enroll in the Seeds Course, linked here, to continue on the path of personal transformation.
