Modern society isn't what humans evolved to thrive in

• em-bee 2y ago
  so which society is one where humans thrived? looking back i do not see any period where humanity as a whole and each individual were better off and thriving more than today. sure, there were always some individuals who did well, but the majority was toiling away trying to bring food on the table. to me, the whole point is developing society to improve. learning how to cooperate to achieve greater things than any individual or small group could. modern society is not the pinnacle but a mere stepping stone to build an even better society in the future. stories like this one are a reminder that we still have work to do. we need to learn how to be supportive of each other but also teach and guide people to develop sensible goals and ways to achieve them. we also need to learn how to ask for help. without knowing any more about this person, merely speculating just based on the newest post, it looks like this person did not have access to any of that.
