580: How wrong your beliefs making you fear living sustainably
Aren't we living in the best time in history? Don't we have to keep pressing forward to avoid returning to medieval serfdom or the Stone Age and everyone dying young?
No. History, anthropology, and archaeology show these beliefs wrong. Humans weren't living on the verge of starvation or nonstop working all day long. Other cultures than the one we descended from enjoyed more health, longevity, abundance, resilience, and freedom than we do, but we keep telling ourselves stories to make ourselves feel better.
- This post contains the quotes I read from: Health and longevity of other cultures
- I read Kandiaronks' quote from the Kandiaronk Wikipedia page.
- The Wikipedia page on sloths.
