So hopeful and visionary. I love her description of our dominator-model 'history' as "a 5000 year detour" (from earlier partnership model). Hopefully just a blip on the evolutionary radar! Better times ahead - and the seeds are within each of us, to the degree that we are willing to nurture and grow them. Riane is rain for the germination of a more equal, happy kind of society.
Riane Eisler is awesome. The Chalice & the Blade had a huge influence on the way I see human history. I tell people about The Chalice & the Blade all the time.
Problems: 1. you cited prisons, oilspill cleanup, etc. as not adding value. that's debatable. 2. The vast inequity and chaos is caused by insufficient regluation of peoples' private and organizational deals (contracts) with one another. Changing the system of semantics or notation (accounting, consolidation, economics, GDP) for these things accomplishes nothing. 3. internalizing externalities puts that which is most sacred, up for sale. The solution is outright prohibition of harms to commons.
