I remember a discussion we had in school which posed the question of civilization’s demise and homo sapiens’ retrogression; i.e. going back to a primitive existence of killing animals for food, sleeping under the stars, bathing in rivers.
We concluded that any form of survival and renewal was not regression. However, we did note that becoming dependent on others for necessities (other peoples labor) was equal to descending to a feral state.
“However, we did note that becoming dependent on others for necessities (other peoples labor) was equal to descending to a feral state.”
Ludicrous statement. You are cheering stepping away from civilization.
