I can’t help but think if we didn’t live in such a dense agrarian techno-industrial globalised world a pandemic like this would never have happened. It only spread quickly because of extreme globalisation. COVID has lead to so much preventable disability and death.

Edit: Maybe I have a different definition of anaracho primitivism to you all but I’m reading through the lense of James C Scott’s Against the Grain, and the problems with the agricultural revolution.

    Read against the grain by James C Scott. It was exceedingly rare. And the modalities of covid wouldn’t have allowed it, given the group dynamics of hunter gatherer society.

      As Science put it, that theory is “fascinating” and “speculative”. Which mirrors my impression of the book.
