a little surprised how similar the answers to the two polls are. maybe they both boil down to “are you basically a hippie” 😅

I barely know anything about these 2 in specific, but I think, on some level, the fundamental mistake was civilization. It distanced us from our natural instincts, made us v bored and v unanchored, and we've since been going around optimising/revolutionising everything around us.

I would say that these were a mistake "in some sense", but not "on some level".
(according to the gut part of me responsible for answering polls 🤷♀️)

Hmm I interpreted on some level as "in some way", so I voted yes
If it's "if you go back far enough into your principles" then I'm not sure

industrial revolution was a big mistake, shouldn't have done it. Agricultural revolution depends on where you live & who you are. It was fine for some and destroyed others.

wait, which one are we talking about? grain was possibly a mistake, tubers not so much. improved yields later on, no
same for the industrial revolution too... most of the problems stem from the second one not the first
