"closer to the literal hunger games than anything people do for fun"

  But it's true. Life WAS like that back then.

  As in dying of malnutrition? Of course it was. Or injuries, diseases... Pardon my word play on applying the word "play" to a society that constantly faced severe consequences of literal hunger...

    If saving people from malnutrition is your concern, good news; it’s still a problem today. Perhaps we could all spend less time generating empty rhetoric online and more time engaged in what we claim to be via logic, our real concerns It feels really disingenuous when all the pearl clutching office workers go home to video games not a soup kitchen. Spend their weekends hiking not nursing the sick, fixing poorer people’s homes. Modern day infantilized office worker crowd is the most off putting group of people I’ve ever encountered.

      Saving people from malnutrition, hunger, violence and war are noble goals. They have nothing to do with discussing, and assessing, the situation in pre-historical times or the live of tribes living a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to this day.

          Is that an insult, a compliment or both? I seriously cannot tell.

              Fair enough, I guess?
