Human beings did not evolve to live in a population density of sixty thousand people per square mile. The fact urbanization is increasing even while larger and larger chunks of the economy become location-agnostic as they move online is insane.

- Symmetry 8y agoHumans evolved to live in hunter-gatherer bands that were functionally anarchies, guided by a consensus established under the influence of respected leaders. If a consensus couldn't be reached the band split. Given all the changes we've made to our living situation going from 6,000/mile^2 to 60,000/mile^2 isn't really a big issue. If you want to live in the countryside nobody is stopping you but many of us actually enjoy living in cities.
