Ask a mother if she would trade half her kids for a natural lifestyle.

But yes, that's the question... I think I take modern life over endless struggles and getting eaten by a lion.

And just to be clear: pretty much all of existence between "settling" and now has been worse in almost all regards compared to now!

If you want what I'm reading from your statement, you have to consider the old style (semi-) nomadic lifestyle that's natural to us

    Unfortunately I have to decline that "amen". I take the "brother, tough, bro!

    We're better off than before enlightenment hit us... We are in fact better off than humans have been at any other point in history.

    My point is: Let's take the bad shit (e.g. wealth and power concentration creep) and work (the "remix") on those parts and try to not destroy the wealth (e.g. ultra low infant mortality rate) we build on the way to here.

    Yes, and as you're already there:

    You can, and I'm betting we will, also have privately owned production in post-capital society (if we ever get there..). Exactly the same way as owning and running farm land in capitalist society.

    It's not the core aspect that needs an upgrade, it's the role it has in society that is due for an upgrade

    Besides your introduction you make a fairly solid case for this product. Have you tried it?

    Sounds to me it would actually work very nicely on a well made restaurant burger (in contrast to fast food burgers), which tend to have juicy meat and therefor have less need for extra lubrication.

    If you can't beat them, join them.

    If LLMs keep their current level of capability growth for just a few more years .. I want a more direct connection.

    And yes, this comment is likely to be down voted to hell 😘

    Boromir would have grown a vag all by himself!

    ... If this joke isn't welcome / insensitive / ... Delete and I'll know better next time.

    With love to you ladies

    (Edit: can't even spell "vag")
