Society is very natural, OUR current model of society is sadly not

[-] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Not quite. Humans evolved to exist in small hunter-gatherer groups, which I would not consider societies. Curiously, these were very egalitarian and people only worked for about 20 hours a week, and the varied lifestyle and diet was optimal for our health. It is really with society that all our problems started

Edit: spelling and clarification

I think the disagreement here is in definitions, whether hunter gatherer groups are a society.

[-] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

Fair point. My mother tongues have slightly different definitions for their words for "society"
