gollark: You seemed to be suggesting it was anarchoprimitivism before.
gollark: Possibly air pollution too.
gollark: It also isn't a very stable equilibrium when people know what "farming" and "tool use" are.
gollark: Hunter gathering also can't support anywhere near as many people as modern agriculture, so that's a consideration under some ethical systems.
gollark: Like I said, you're taking a minor issue and somehow using it to suggest that the entire idea of technological civilisation is bad by completely failing tk consider alternative explanations.
