1968 Mirage M2

The Mirage M2, featuring an aluminum monocoque with fiberglass bodywork, was constructed in 1968 by John Wyer for the 1969 WSC. Sponsored by Gulf Oil, powered by a BRM Formula One 3-liter V-12 engine developing approximately 370 hp, it is configured as raced in the 1969 Nurburgring 1000 km with the original two-valve heads and Lucas mechanical injection mated to a ZF five-speed transaxle. Tested by Ickx and Oliver and raced by David Hobbs and Mike Hailwood, with a seventh-place finish at Spa, it is significant because of its position in the history of the WSC. Of the three M2 chassis, only '03' is fitted with the original two-valve engine making its significance even more evident. A rare, seldom-seen example of John Wyer Automotive's innovative engineering design and execution, the BRM Mirage is exotic and beautiful by any automotive enthusiast's standards.

While I was rewatching this Hannibal's scene, I had a rare feeling, like I was dreaming an old dream, but I couldn't remember it. Few days later, the reference came into my mind.

If nothing else, surely the time has come to stop the swinging pendulum that has fixated generations of philosophers, historians and social scientists, leading their gaze from Hobbes to Rousseau, from Rousseau to Hobbes and back again. We do not have to choose any more between an egalitarian or hierarchical start to the human story. Let us bid farewell to the ‘childhood of Man’ and acknowledge (as Lévi-Strauss insisted) that our early ancestors were not just our cognitive equals, but our intellectual peers too. [...] They were perhaps more aware of some things and less aware of others. They were neither ignorant savages nor wise sons and daughters of nature. They were, as Helena Valero said of the Yanomami, just people, like us; equally perceptive, equally confused.

– David Graeber and David Wengrow, The Dawn of Everything (2021)

Apparently tweeted this in December. Have no recollection of writing it and I am not even sure who it is meant to be about, but I reckon that the point still stands.
