for the longest time, I have thought that maybe I don't want 3-letter agencies to know what I think. but this is coming from a position of fear, if one person has a controversial opinion they can be silenced, but a whole part of the country? I think the problem is more fundamental, ppl unwilling to take a stance, because of that evil will win
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. You’ve 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 “trade off.” 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
I may be going back to dark mode, a few people have said they don't like it thus far.
I like it!
You could use JS to implement a switch on the page and store it locally for the user, then they can decide which they use.
non-js alternative is the css @media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {} which checks the user's system setting
