Imagine an author asserting that the Bible was written by Semitic herders who were calling the agricultural revolution an abomination, that farming enables unnatural surplus, giving farmers operational superiority over all competitors human and non, thus infusing the farmer's culture with a superiority complex that gave rise to the belief that they could choose winners and losers, as if they possess the knowledge of good and evil, the knowledge of who may live and who may die. (All competitors must be deprived of food and wiped out, which is right for Man to do.) This is the apple that Adam wasn't supposed to eat, according to Quinn.
And Cain the farmer repeatedly murders Abel the herder (and all the other indigenous tribes of the world) by forcing agriculture on every people throughout the world, even now, as if it's the one right way for all people to live.
This is scratching the surface of what Quinn likes to write about. It's probably not for everyone, but it's welcome food for thought in my head.
