      IMO Garden of Eden myth is really a story about being eternally ejected from the innocent harmony of pre-agricultural life. Prometheus and other similar mythical figures gesture to it as well

      So what you're saying is the agricultural revolution and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race?

      The real reason agriculture is the human original sin isn't because we don't want to go back, it's because those that don't become much more powerful and can displace those that do go back. Same for agriculture, and all technology in general.

        We can't go back. The total carrying capacity of the planet without agriculture is a few tens of millions of people. Pretty much everyone would have to die to for a non-agricultural economy to be sustainable.

      I lurked on a forum in 2009 where someone had an avatar with 4 quadrants, Low Tech Low Command, Low Tech High Command, High Tech High Command, High Tech Low Command. Their purported arrow of history moved through these stages in that order.
