Great! Let's go back to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle then. To make it work, since the ecosystem can't support very many people living that way, we'll have to trim the global population down to about 1 million, so we'll have to set up some big death camps to eliminate billions of excess people. You're volunteering to be first in the gas chamber, right?



Odd comment.

Where I live I grew up mingled with hunter gathers and to this day a large number are still there .. so I don't see any need for death camps and slaughtering billions.

This is something you often think of then?


If you think the planet can sustain 8 billion people in a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, you're so ignorant that there's no point in this conversation.


You're off on a tangent all of your own.

I'm not that bright, obviously, perhaps you can explain how you made the journey from a comment about hookworm not being a feature of pre colonial huneter gather existence and termites building urban structure to your claim about my thoughts on the planet and 8 billion people.

I look forward to your reply so that I may become less ignorant.
