    Yeah, we don’t have the tools for day to day survivalist life en masse. That’s why it feels hard.

    We also don’t have the tools to cut marble by hand using copper. Because why would we? They aren’t needed so no one is making them.

    Knowledge gets lost when it’s no longer relevant. This isn’t news.

      That’s not true. I’ve literally seen someone make a 1 ton brick by hand.

      It’s this nostalgia of a simpler time that’s actually toxic. Tribal societies would always adapt new tech. BECAUSE it helped survivability.
