New post/essay on the longevity and lives of hunter gatherers. It does not go into as much detail as I would like, but I am still learning. I will update and or make a part 2 sometime in the future.

Great essay. Youβve clearly put a lot of thought and research into this. One thing I think is worth mentioning, is that (if memory serves me right) early agriculturalists were thought to have lived a hybrid lifestyle, both farming and hunting/gathering. To them, it probably seemed like a good trade off because there was no βtrade off.β They had the best of both worlds until the population increase.

Yes Mike I believe you are right. I believe they called them forager-horticulturalists. I may go back and expand upon that. That is actually discussed in the book "Sapiens", they did not see a tradeoff initially, it just slowly got to the point of what we know as agricultural civilization, like a frog in a boiling pot.

Nothing to see here. I wish I could choose when these updates push so that when I am just making small changes it wouldn't show up.

I really need to make more time to read, as I have mentioned previously, my reading list grows significantly faster than I can get through it.

i've read Walden, very slow to get through meditations on living in nature, such a life comes with its own challenges but in my opinion much better than living in the urban hellscape.

"I really need to make more time to read, as I have mentioned previously, my reading list grows significantly faster than I can get through it." Me too. I have a backlog of both physical and digital books to read lol

Has anyone else wondered about hunter-gatherers, our ancestors, lives and wondered if they were brutish, short and hard or if they were fairly prosperous? This has been on my mind for a long time now and I am finally diving in and doing the research and learning as much as I can about it. I am hoping to push out an essay sometime soon about this.

pretty sure that hunter-gatherers worked less and lived far less stressful lives than civilized humans, but that applies even to peasants which were most humans up to the modern era.

You would be surprised how little farmers and peasants gained vs how much they lost up until fairly recently when things improved.

the agricultural revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

interesting, I might try out some of your phone organisation style! I did a totally phone and computer-free 24 hours recently that I similarly found useful/illuminating. don't think I'll be repeating that too often, but I do find myself turning off the internet on my phone a lot now for similar reasons
