Lol parenthood in a nutshell

Saturday shenanigans with the kids and pupper. Sometimes, the martini is just dirty enough....

Perhaps the oldest urbanized civilization, The city-state of Ur, known to man began its decline around 3000BCE in part due to rampant wealth inequality and internal rebellion... Its important to note, this particular kind of internal conflict almost always leads to civilizational collapse. "Texts uncovered from Lagash- one of the preeminent Summerian city states- indicate there was a massive chasm between the wealthy and the common people. Most of the latter being so mired in debt that they had to sell their own children to get our of debt." 11 min mark

Under the Code of Hammurabi (1754 BCE), commoners (mushkenu) had property rights but with limits. They could own land, homes, businesses, and slaves, pass down inheritance, and enter contracts. However, they faced taxes, debt risks, and state control over land. Ownership was possible—but not absolute. #History #AncientLaws #PropertyRights

Before "Mine" There Was "Ours"—But We Still Crave Ownership No one enters this world alone. We don’t simply appear—we are born into the first unit of human society: the family. Before civilization, survival was the only priority. No deeds, no property lines, no titles—just tribes bound together, roaming the earth in search of food, water, and shelter. Ownership, as we know it today, barely existed. Resources were fleeting, and the idea of personal property had little meaning when everything was about collective survival. What belonged to the tribe, by extension, belonged to all. And yet, deep within us, the desire to claim something as ours has always existed. A tool, a shelter, a piece of land—something that gives us security, control, and identity. Even in the most communal societies, the longing to carve out a space of our own has persisted. The world may have changed, but the balance between ours and mine still shapes how we live, work, and build our futures. Do you think our need for ownership is innate, or have we been conditioned to crave it? #HumanNature #Ownership #Survival #TribalMindset #Psychology #Society
