You said we should return to a pre-civilizational state of animist goddess worship. You even implied we should abandon language. That's about as dualistic an option as one can get.

No doctor worth their salt would ever claim that ritual trance and polyphonic singing could replace modern medicine, and I'm guessing that for all of the anarcho-primitivist spiel, you probably take a Tylenol when you have a headache rather than have a shaman trepan your skull to let the demons out.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree that patriarchy and capitalism have done vast damage to the world, but the premise that humanity lived in some kind of utopian state of matriarchal harmony in the hunter-gatherer days is just naive. The base of knowledge that led to modern science and medicine isn't the product of patriarchy or capitalism, it's simply reality and that reality freely applies to everyone, everywhere.

We don't need to abandon that, we just need to find a way to apply that knowledge more equitably.
