I have been blasting away at Rousseau, myself, for many decades, and all of that " NOBLE SAVAGE " garbage.

Man without technology isn't a noble savage: he's a dead, naked, and hairless ape.

Having had to live through the stupid Hippy " BACK TO NATURE " and the elevation of the primative stuff, I can tell you that that IS exactly what led to the " diversty junk of today ... same crowd; just as WRONG today, as they were back then.

Courtesy of the Marine Corps, I often lived at one with nature.

The concept is vastly overrated.

Great reply ! Yes, a dead, naked ape, indeed.
