    Sounds like a good idea. 100 years later, humanity is gone, earth can finally heal

      We were actually pretty good gardeners before we figured out copper. Hopefully we can get that back soon

        That comment was rather sarcastic, and I hoe yours is too. If you really yearn for stone age lifespans of 25-30 years of suffering, then you can go all in, but I’m out.

        Also, we sucked at gardening back then, nothing compared to what we do now.

          The Native Americans, and Aboriginal Australians both have around 25,000 years of experience that proves your last statement false. That’s why the European colonizers thought they had found a new “garden of eden.”

          Also you are misunderstanding average lifespans. As long as you made it past puberty, you’d live almost as long as we do now.

          Stop being western centric about human history

            Where do you get this from? seriously, where do you read this? Do you really think that native Americans had it perfect, without any disease, living long and perfect lives into their 80’s? Do you really think that live without modern medicine, without modern foods, without modern water, transition and knowledge was nice?

            Because if you do, by all means, please do retreat into the forest, please do live off the land, all of you, and maybe twenty years later the few survivors may come and ask if they can please pretty please be part of a normal society again.

            This entire yearning for a fantasy time where everything was heaven is childish

              Well that was a bunch of gobbledygook I never said. Yes they lived till 70 or 80, provided they lived past 15-18, just like everyone else on the planet at the time. Modern medicine is very good, and much better than natural medicine, but natural medicine predates the entire genus of homo, not just humans. The rest of your fantasy is stuff that I never even alluded to.

              I read it by going and talking with the natives that are left, and reading tons of archaeological papers about the areas. Oh yeah, and there’s a bunch of documentaries if you prefer videos.
