I find it somewhat amusing that this article doesn't pick up on the fact that it is furthering the root cause of this very issue in the act of basing it on the book Sapiens. A core problem with these mythological trends is that they reduce world views down to easy-to-communicate little stories. This is useful for propagating ideas from person to person, but it necessarily has to be pithy and avoid too much detail. What we aught to do is to notice this historical pattern, and to take a stand against it. We should try to not be too persuaded by the book, or methodology, of the month (Sapiens right now) but to try to go back to the hard, tough, classics. We should try to build a foundation based on actual psycological and sociological research, instead of being steered too much by the, understandably attractive, mimetic pulls of water cooler philosophy.
