Agriculture being the root of all evil:

[Cliffy]

Here is the EVIDENCE for commitment to agriculture being the root of all evil:

When anthropologists study cultures before and after agriculture, they find that before agriculture, all people in the tribe have equal value. But agriculture makes some farmers, some pot makers (for storing grain), and some are soldiers for guarding surplus (soldiers) ---- inequality is born, as each profession has a different value.

Speaking of soldiers, before agriculture tribes moved around, and had nothing of value.... after we have surplus food for the off-season. Its the reason for war. Large scale War only comes after agriculture.

What of women? Well they used to be valued gatherers, but after agriculture they are kept inside to have babies, patriarchy is born and women are valued less.

Before agriculture we are relatively healthy. But once we stay in one spot and farm we pool water, bringing mosquitoes. And we know live close to farm animals --- so the sicknesses they experience, such as the cold and flu, evolve and jump to humans. Our diet also suffers immeasurably (no cavities before we start farming honey and drinking mead).

Then there's the fact that one flood, or one bad crop can wipe out a village (that before agriculture would have just moved to a better spot), which gives rise to religion and human sacrifice, etc to appease the gods. And the fact that in only a couple generations they had salinated the earth through irrigation.....and turned a hunter-gatherer's paradise into a desolate wasteland.

You are insane but I truthfully forgive you.

What Cliffy needs is a big island with just forests and animals, no farmland and....yes....no logging trucks....
He's suffering something like Flossy...
But in Flossy's case it was a Train....
See the similarity in their respective condition?

 

[petros]

Of course there is a pattern but what about Megz?

Cliffy needs to burn his ID but no, he won't even give up welfare and go on OAS so he doesn't have to pay for prescriptions.

His hypocrisy is why I ride him like the cheap whore, slave he truly is.

He'd never survive as a farmer or a hunter. They require work.

What if Dog was spelled C-A-T puff puff pass

Makes about as much sense

The problem starts when you pop out of this slidey thing...

Let's go back to those good, ole pre-agricultural hunter-gatherer days when most of us lived to be 30. The world could sustain a few hundred million of us, total (if even that many) and about seven billion of us had better be prepared to punch out tomorrow morning.

 

[Bar Sinister]

That is all complete speculation. No one knows what pre-agricultural societies were like because they kept no written records. All we can do is study people like the Inuit and hypothesize that pre-agricultural societies may have bee similar. However, there is every possibility that such societies may have been just as hierarchical as later agricultural societies. We just don't know.

As for war, the people of the Great Plains of Canada and the US (most of them non-agricultural societies) were constantly at war with one another.

As long as you see life in a binary good/evil universal force of nature, Anything you imagine will be based on a illusion brainwashed into you're brain.

Good is not a universal force of nature. Evil is not a universal force of nature. Real life isn't like Star Wars. Good can be evil to two different living things. Good and evil is relative to the individual or group with a common goal.

Until a majority of human understand this, humans will remain, simple. Like Cliffy 's attempt at a logical thought today.

There are bag checks at this year's horse farm parade I hear

them damned baggie aggies at it again

Nooooo nothing of value? Just brainless deadbeat giggling Injuns chasing bumble bees?

They didn't wander they followed their game herd as it migrated that they fought and died for stealing it from another tribe. They were all soldiers. Every last tribe member.

Piss poor hunter/soldiers ended up slaves.

You all have your opinion but Cliffy was there. He was a Cree... tell them Cliff.

Yes, Mr. Smith. Mustn't upset the status quo. Attack the messenger because the message is indisputable.

 

[Twila]

the root of ALL evil is...mankind.

Made up concept to control the masses. Used as a weapon to manipulate. Evil.

Nope, the root of all evil is 25.80697580112788. ;-)

You're free to boycott the agricultural industry if you wish.

Usually I would leave you unmolested Cliffy cus I think yer hearts in the right place but this time I have to disagree with you. When you use paid anthropological hookers as a reliable trustworthy sources you are committing a grave blunder, they are among the worst quackademics known to mankind. These turds routinly hide and or destroy anything that does not support consensus and Darwinian crap.
Money lenders are the root of all evil and you can be sure that before those farmers got riled up the bankers were there organizing the conquest of the next valley upstream, and they could and would provide mass produced clubs and spears and rocks at very reasonable prices for volumne purchases of course.

Honest man, get your shjt together, nobody goes to war without financial backers, and they very likly never have and never will. Organization is also a root of evil. reason as well, both preceed agriculture by a long long time.
