  • I like the agricultural society where families and communities are tightly knit and people are self-sufficient. I think the economies are going to fail because people are dependent upon a system that is not sustainable. And so it is only a matter of time until we are forced back towards living in harmony with nature.

  • this guy is full of it, sounds like a fantasy, he doesn't factor in the biological limits that we are quickly reaching in many respects such as fossil fuel, water supply issues, and the like.

  • @MacZambrottVEVO AN idiot

  • Its to late to live in harmony with nature in some sort of hunter gather society. Wont happen. Humans are way too curious and ambitious to live like that for long. Eventually we always push the boundary,change the status quo, and I know which world I'd rather live in. The one where we have somthing to explore, and are learning more and more!

  • @Gsri92 yes, I agree and the way we keep picking at each other and let the powers that be instills fear and rascism - the old divide and conquer - works every time if you look through history.

  • @ProtestSpp No doubt man no doubt.

  • we cant keep going the way we are today! i can tell you that! we use that much resources and depend so much on food. we cant really deal with any bigger population!

  • @ProtestSpp you are a idiot

  • your my hero sir
