Key Notes
model
Jiang explains Paleolithic care for disabled or ill people through cosmic unity, stronger preliterate empathy, and a valuation of diversity as divine gift.
model
Jiang says state simplification destroys resilience: monoculture forests and top-down farming look efficient but become fragile under disease, drought, weather, or crisis.
model
Diversity and differentiation are presented as fundamental human and social instincts: societies strive to differ from one another, so broad civilizational generalizations are useful but simplified spectra rather than exact truths.
model
Greek geography created diverse economies, cultures, and societies, adding another source of political and cultural variation.
