Ever wonder about living primitively? (If it's even possible now) How it would effect people on a large scale?

I imagine a good size population would die off quickly Lol.

Perhaps I'm just under minding some people's capabilities.

Haha I was thinking the same thing. Plus considering all the medications people take. Half the population would bite the dust. I guess a hierarchy would be created by whose strongest or the best fighter. I dunno, intresting book, what's the name of it?

That's my retirement. Living up in the Montana mountains.

I would die for sure

I think I'd thrive. But I could be over estimating my abilities - that aries mars ? haha. But I don't think I'd be able to kill animals... Definitely a gatherer. I'd pick herbs and berries and pretend I didn't know how my meat was killed.

Ah we all think the worst but just maybe primal instinct would take over.

You might be on to something there!

The book is called The Lessons of History by Will and Ariel Durant.

Particularly intriguing in your face reading regarding the history of biology, race, religion, economics, government, growth and decay.

I always wanted to be a wildman living off the land. Technology has made me too soft.

Totally doable for me. I like technology but I'm a country boy. I grew up farming and ranching.
