Everybody ignores him.

He talks to himself in the park, on the subway, and while resting in bus stations.

He's crazy, they will tell you.

But what is he saying?

"For 99% of all human evolution and existence on earth we lived in small hunter-gatherer tribes where everyone was loved; where everyone was treated with kindness and equality!" he barks at pedestrians. "Then something happened -- hierarchical stratification via symbols of abstract value -- history itself! We lost our humanity! We became trapped in games of dominance and servitude! That is why you all secretly feel so empty, so incomplete!"
