READING, WRITING

Read 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that after the Agricultural Revolution, societies "never looked back" (that is, until he enlightens us).  Today, we have the prosperity and security built in to the Agricultural Revolution, and so find it hard to see anything negative about it.

But, he notes, a family devastated by crop failure in 1C China could not imagine the future; they simply starved, and sometimes died.

Thus far, Harari does not see benefit in the masses being fed by the Agricultural Revolution, but rather focuses on the transition from pre-AR to AR, and how life was likely better before the AR "took over" our way of life.

At any rate, it's enlightening to think about the transition from the POV of the human beings who went through it:  it likely uncomfortably disrupted their previously happy way of living.
