Noble savage much?

They had war, rapes, atrocities, tragedies, plagues, shittiness, famines, etc. too you know.

At least from what we’ve been able to gather after they mostly got wiped out.

It is no picnic living in a preindustrial society.

It’s no picnic right now either. Massive inequality while the world prepares to wipe us all away.

I’m aware of the stats about xyz improving over time. But if we let the earth fall apart, as is the trend, it’s all for naught.

      Pre ag it was hard to store wealth or accumulate power so hunter gatherers may have been the most egalitarian setup in our history.

      Sure it’s always been a battle but they weren’t speedrunning GHG into the atmosphere.
