As for applying a single-minded approach to ‘produce results’ it’s hardly necessary to go back as far as the Neolithic – it can be seen in action again and again even within the lifetime of some of the contributors here. Such systems hardly need mentioning as they’ve already bitten the dust; others like North Korea and Syria are hanging on by their fingertips and there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that they’ll eventually go the way of the rest.
Just to clarify, i'm not suggesting that all people who are single-minded in that sense necessarily have bad intentions. Far from it.
Strong belief in something doesn't have to be dangerous or 'wrong'.
