No it doesn’t. If fully informed basically nobody living in modern society would chose to adopt that lifestyle (even if they somehow magically acquired all the skills required to succeed there etc.). The opposite is certainly not true

Not always that usually didn’t happen (or happened to a much lesser degree) in most of Asia and Africa.

To be fair the Canarian society was massively more complex and advance. which usually means more fragile so the significant aspect is that they didn’t degenerate to the level of the Sentinelese despite the isolation

It’s easy for a society to be “happy” (whatever that mean and however you measure that) when only fully healthy people get a chance to live and everyone else is dead.

Implying that that the majority of the people living there somehow made a conscious and at least a marginally informed choice to live how they do is more than bizarre.

Because they are incapable of producing any economic surplus and thus have no population growth whatsoever. The whole noble savages trope you seem to be be leaning to might sound quite romantic but they didn’t really make a conscious choice

If it’s just static content it wouldn’t really be that expensive. In reality egress traffic is extremely cheap compared to what Azure/AWS etc. are charging.

> GDP per capita growth since 1990 is equal to the US Not it’s not. That’s just an absurd claim. Japan had even GDP per capita with the US in 1990, briefly overtook it ~1995. Now US has more than twice as high GDP per capita (76k vs 34k)

Banning domestic gas usage while a significant proportion of you electricity supply is produced by burning coal seems beyond absurd..

But Github is not a content company and they don’t really own copyright to almost anything hosted there.

You can hardly compare growth between economies in extremely different development stages directly. Also the gap between Korea has remained constant since the 90s (in fact it even widened over the last 15 years or so)

As far as we can tell Neanderthal populations were very small and fragile (very low genetic diversity) to begin with. So it’s not unlikely that modern human just absorbed them. A bit like the hunter gatherers who pretty much disappeared in
