Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – Books that inspired @megalopolisfilm – Part II 

These books are about a time before there was writing, so much is intelligent guesswork of course; there are many other influences that went into my own ‘best’ guess of what human life may have been like when walking was the only method of transportation, (or if you didn’t care whether you could get back, hopping on a log in the river.) I found ideas wherever I looked, in Plato, Aristotle, Lithuanian Anthropologist Marija Gimbutas and suggest perhaps THE CHALICE AND THE BLADE by Riane Eisler. 

The previously mentioned short story in the appendix of Hesse’s THE GLASS BEAD GAME is beautiful, and informs much about nature of Matriarchy and basis of the Apprentice system. 

For an opposing view I’d suggest Francis Fukuyama’s  THE ORDER OF POLITICAL HISTORY or even THE WAR LOVERS by Evan Thomas. All counter views usually stick to the ‘historical period’. This involves one of the greatest pleasures we humans are entitled to which is ‘Learning’.

Regarding that powerful word ‘Pleasure’ I whole-heartedly recommend a great read: THE SWERVE by Stephen Greenblatt.                                                                 

I believe and my @megalopolisfilm concept accepts that all living human beings (Homo Sapiens) are the only family of our species which survived. Generally considered to be one of 5 modern Apes, are remarkable to say the least,  an amazing species of Genuses when capabilities and accomplishments are
considered or in the rare words of 14th century thinker Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola (who was punished by the church for saying so) “…the human being is rightly called a great miracle and a living creature worthy of all admiration.”
Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – These are 4 books that strongly have influenced @megalopolisfilm and my view of the “society we live in.” I offer three by David Graeber and one short story by Herman Hesse.

To see where I’m coming from, please understand that our family, Homo Sapiens, has been around for 350,000 to 400,000 years. There is much evidence that the last 10,000 years have been under patriarchy (male domination) due to male animal herders from Steppes of Asia and the advent of “the horse.” With that unfortunate innovation, men swooped down like something out of a #Kurosawa movie, and began woman-enslavement in particular, slavery, war, caste, plague, and many things we all should agree are terrible. Also, “man” began writing, usually out of the need to record who was entitled to bags of barley and matrimony of various types, to ensure that our heirs were actually our children. Before this period of so-called “civilization” were thousands of years of matriarchy. Unlike patriarchy, women did not necessarily give out orders, but rather things were settled in egalitarian councils led by women, and often with a wise woman giving perspective.

A wonderful glimpse into that world is in Herman Hesse’s unfinished tetralogy THE GLASS BEAD GAME, which is followed by three short stories, of which I recommend “The Rainmaker”
