There are those that will say that living in advanced societies require a great deal of sacrifice, time, and effort where the consensus is that this is all good for the progress of society or civilization as a whole but what many people don’t understand is the tremendous costs involved in maintaining such a existence.
The psychological, physical, health, and social costs of maintaining such modern infrastructure where at this point in our socieities it seems there is nobody that wants to address these incovenient realities. At a certain point when costs outweigh benefits societies collapse and this can be thoroughly understand with a glance at human history.
Finding food was not their only job, but when you add in all the other jobs which we take for granted with modern conveniences, they worked much harder, maybe not without breaks, but it was from sunrise to sunset and guard duty at night.
Gathering daily water (walking a distance), making a container to gather daily water (and walking a distance with a heavy load), making clothes and thread and a needle, making foods and trying to preserve foods, even cooking would be a more time consuming operation having to gather wood and make a fire without matches and wait for it to reach the appropriate heat for cooking, making shelter and a few creature comforts like blankets or instruments would be very time consuming, washing clothes (walking a distance and beating clothes out against rocks without soap and waiting for them to dry in the sun), even going to the restroom would require effort to travel a ways from your camp so you are not walking or smelling your own refuse.
They worked more than 15-20 hours a week and if you throw the entire work necessary for a family into the mix, one job to the next would never end.
No they didn’t, they didn’t have production or time quotas like we do now in modern society, you know nothing about the formations of ancient societies. You instead only look at things through modern lens that you’re already accustomed to.
Void, you should patent this troll trap you set up here.
This must be the dumbest thing I ever read.
But yes, gagger, priests of ancient times are responsible for throwing the earth in obit around the sun which caused your perpetual farting.
No, they’re responsible in the creation of the clock or twenty four hour timetable. That’s all the post meant.
People have time to pick nutritious foods that will not break the budget. They also have time to exercise, if they wanted to. It doesn’t matter if they work a lot. These are choices people make, based on their values (or rather lack of values).
When it comes to being fat, most of it is caused by over-eating. You can eat McDonalds every day and not get fat, if you only eat one meal and nothing else each day, and if you get some cardio exercise each day. But otherwise, people are simply eating way too much food, and not exercising. Again, these are choices. No one is a “victim” of being fat. They just don’t want to put in any effort really. Laziness. Value-lack. Victimhood mentality is just an excuse.
Haha.
Some medical conditions do cause weight gain: thyroid problems, untreated depression, medicine treated mental health problems (cause lethargy too), heart conditions, lung conditions. So it’s not purely one thing or another, but with most modern society members sedentary lives and depression really fuck their weight. They are not moving enough…period. Depression is tricky for it comes and goes when not treated, but a person’s weight can go in the crapper quick during a three to six month bout of severe depression. Unfortunately, people self-medicate with food, sex, drugs, alcohol, and gambling to numb and distract themselves from feeling poorly.
People, especially children, need to be taught to advocate for their health. Kids need to know what is reasonable and what is out of control regarding all the interplaying aspects of health. They need to be made conscious of what’s going on with their bodies at a young age so they can counter their physiological health, they control it, before it controls them.
There is also a fair amount of fat-shaming involved the minute any fat appears on a person’s body… my Chinese friends told me this/vented about their culture.
In South Korea women who are fat can’t even get a job. Read that on an article recently, if people think Europeans are bigoted they obviously haven’t been around Asians for any quality amount of time.
Fat shaming works.
Wish it was that way in America too. We need higher standards, and real values.
Human perfection is a fool’s folly.
Only if you’re so lazy that you can’t even improve at all.
But you just said, fat women shouldn’t be allowed to work.
you ended our truce by being transphobic.
this is true, people are fat mainly due to the modern lifestyle of slavery and subjugation, religion is the modern potato chip to compensate that they are not allowed to have agency and are living under injustice and tyranny. an animal gets fat when it is locked in a cage and repressed from living out it’s natural instincts.
you can be proven true mathematically and scientifically.
the bicycle is the most efficient device ever made, which means the car is less efficient.
thus a society builds more effort into building itself than is actually output, think of factory labor and how much effort it takes to build cars and ship gasoline, and creating a society of traffic jams and wage slaves, they are putting more energy into than they are getting out, it is inefficient.
but eventually we can hope for a future free of wage slavery, the laws of energy say energy is never lost, therefore one day we may end up getting more energy than we put into it.
Primarily what you want to do is give the most amount of work to non-sentience, so that non-sentient things are the ones eating up the karmic suffering, while the sentient ones simply reap the fruits, this is the way out of suffering.
