Funny how they skip the longest period of cultural organization of homo sapien sapien (pre-agriculture, 100,000+ years worth) and go straight to single cell organisms
I remember learning in an anthropology class about how the pre-agrarian/hunter gatherer era was actually maybe the best time for humans in terms of amount of leisure
(I just did some light googling & it seems there is a lot of uncertainty about that still but interesting imo)
I think it just really matters where you were. In the Amazon? It was a huge food forest with an enormous river right there, not much gathering required
In African savannah? Well, now you need to do some walking, and hunting probably isn't optional
When people don't like the present, they almost always assume the past was better. When people are broadly happy with the way things are, they argue the past was worse.
Our take on the past almost always says more about our take on the present rather than anything true about the past.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Also during a war, things almost certainly were better before the war. War is kinda known for being awful.

See this is why the human instrumentality project is peak, people return to singularity. Evangelion got it right 😉
