I'm currently reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. It described the agricultual revolution from a perspective I had never considered before. I mean in school you're taught that the AR was a good thing because, hey, more food, more opportunity to specialize and develop tech, etc. What he argues is that compared to the lifestyle of hunter-gatherers, farming sucked. It's more and harder work that ends up breaking your body, the diet makes you sick, and given your dependence on just one or two grains instead of a wide array of stuff in a tight knit ecological system, you're more prone to starvation due to blight, drought, etc. (Not that hunter-gatherers lived in "harmony" with nature - as we're all aware, the appearance of humans was a horrific disaster within the animal kingdom.) TLDR we didn't domesticate wheat, wheat domesticated us and we got fucked in return, the only "benefit" was that the human population could expand.

Just an interesting take on how the technology/ways of life that are supposed to make our lives "better" and "easier" really just make them worse. Don't worry I'm definitely not gonna go f u l l y p r i m i t i v e, but some partially automated, fully cozy, green, queer, pagan anarchism would be nice.

(Also, this book talks a lot about s p o o k s and how they are the glue by which humans can come together in large-scale civilizations instead of small tribes. Interesting reading for any anarchists, check it out)
