    ‘hunter-gathering was the peak of human society’

    I love perpetually balancing on the edge of subsistence, one step below the agrarian societies that drove me out to the marginal lands unfit for more efficient cultivation! I want to be stuck in a loop of raiding other tribes in the attempt to drive them out of their hunting grounds, then having them raid mine in turn in an eternal struggle to get away from the precipice of doom!

    I think it’s really hard from a modern perspective to gauge just how unpleasant life was. Nothing about low-tech farming is simple.
