    Mayans did build highways, made of elevated dirt, to connect their cities. We just discovered them via LiDAR

    It’s so adorable that you suggest the fucking Mayans had “limited hierarchy.” Maybe the funniest hot take I’ve read today, and today has been a doozy.

      My dude, if you can only imagine one system of social organization as being correct or successful, I don’t think it’s my intellect you need to concern yourself with.

        I exist in the real world, and thus am aware of many types of social organization that currently exist.

        All of them with any substantial amount of people are hierarchal.

        As an example the Mayans had both “Divine kings” and a well established system of patronage within their city-states.

        Frankly, your assumptions about Mayan culture are pretty racist.
