This might be true, technically, but often HN uses this point to dismiss any criticism of modern society and it use of technology.
- ImaCake 5y agoThanks, this is a valid criticism of my point. I maintain that it is a bad idea that people had it better as hunter gathers considering it is not an option to return to the forest, and we are doing pretty well by sedentary settlement standards. But you are right that it is also a bad way to shut down valid arguments against the problems our technology has caused.
