Do you seriously want to rebuild lost cultures in the future? That sounds like a horrible idea to me. There are very few lost cultures that represent desirable or even practical modes of living today. #slavery #murder_rate #emancipation #rationality #mortality #education #hunger

Btw. the Hobbit and Star Wars are romantic descriptions of feudalist societies resisting industrialization. But the reason why the feudalist world was so pastoral was low population density: its inhabitants could feed few kids and the other ones died of disease and malnutrition.

Oh, that one is our obvious consensus and does not have to be pointed out, I thought!

The problem with tribal societies is precisely that they don't work at a larger scale. While the current systematic mode does not work, we cannot go back to tribes. We probably cannot even go back to cult mode. Sustainably working governance is an open research question, IMHO.

You are right about large populations & sustainability. I am not at all arguing for turning back time at the global level. Simply not possible. But we can consciously choose bits and pieces of multiple cultures & adapt them to our needs today. It is an intelligent way of living.

Basically Maori villages, but without polygyny, constant warfare and cannibalism, but with western medicine, computers, electric cars, bicycles, roads and the big chemical and industrial plants that make it possible hidden somewhere behind the curtain?

I am not judging. I want the information to be carefully catalogued and available. People can choose for themselves and make a conscious choice. I want to support the freedom to choose for everyone.

I totally agree with your values here. I just think that you might be a bit too romantic with respect to some of the lost human cultures. Few people are going to pick one of the cultures with high child mortality, even if they hate the modern one.
