I need a way to describe this feeling of like, people in the past genuinely did have a lot a lot of shit better figured out than us. The people of the past were legitimately smart, and the Modernist revolution involved quite a lot of throwing perfectly good knowledge and methods in the trash for no other reason than they were Old Fashioned.
I need a way to describe this without it attracting the nostalgists who will start crowing about Traditional Values. Because I'm not mad that boys have long hair and girls wear pants, I am increasingly driven insane by the obvious pants-fucking stupidity of our modern agricultural practices and most ways we currently organize society. This shit is highly suboptimal, man. I am over Capitalist Efficiency. Every new thing I learn about how our wonderful Modern and Efficient economy works makes me wonder if this is all some kind of a sick joke.
