Fair points, but also a bit moot. We can’t stop agriculture and go back to tribal hunting, we are entirely too many people on earth and we have already hunted many species to extinction. I’m also fairly sure we wouldn’t have remotely enough “wild” growth of food and game to sustain our global population. All that would do now is cause famine and wars. And probably the extinction of many more animal species.
Where did I say we need to stop agriculture? I said that early sedentary cultures were worse off compared to foragers.
My point was that the claim that humans have always needed to earn a right to live isn’t true, and now everybody’s somehow convinced that I think we need to go back to being foragers
Fair enough, perhaps i misinterpreted your intent. Though I am confused why that needs a lot of evidence, isnt that obvious to anyone who thinks about the subject for a minute? I mean I fully agree with your intent, i am just surprised you consider that such a controversial position that you are coming in full force with reference links, on Lemmy, where the audience will overwhelmingly agree with you already, by virtue of being very left leaning themselves. Good on you though ✊
Considering the person I was replying to was claiming the exact opposite, I really don’t understand where your confusion comes from.
I write sources down for all sorts of stuff in my personal notes, and this myth has come up often enough that I’ve got more than a few links. I’d rather provide sources than just go “trust me bro”, let alone assume everybody agrees with me especially when it’s bleedin’ obvious everybody doesn’t

As I said, I misinterpreted your intent. No need to be so defensive, I have only skimmed the thread and your comment caught my eye.
