    If we didn’t have however many billions it is now of people, I’d be all about returning to that hunter gatherer life. Would it be really fucking hard? For sure. Would people die of dumb stuff? Ok maybe we keep like, antibiotics. But I bet cavemen never sat around like, “why am I even continuing to exist in this neverending capitalist nightmare?” They probably didn’t wake up at 3 am every night for weeks because the dread overcame their exhaustion. I will join you in the bog.

      I know what you are saying, but consider for a second that the shit we are experiencing today ultimately stems from tribalism. Tribalism existed full well in hunter gatherer societies. In some ways better (no nukes). In other ways, far, far more brutal.
