It's pretty easy to survive - even if you're homeless - anywhere in the advanced world - sure, I'll give you that. But in the hunter gatherer days - people learned skills to make this much easier to survive than it would be for some random person to do today. But I think there was more to life, even in hunter gatherer days, than surviving. Surely, they also put some effort into not being miserable. I'm not convinced that 15 hours of unskilled labor per week is enough to be not-miserable in most places where people actually live in the US. It's not like homeless people have the skills to go forage in the forests and enjoy the natural beauty of life. We don't learn those skills anymore. And even if we did, you'd have a hard time convincing anyone to leave civilization and join you - and we all have social needs... I think I'd much rather camp in the peace and quiet in a tight knit community in a decent shelter with fresh food than on the streets or in a crappy old car basically only able to afford to eat processed variations of corn - which is what you'd be doing on 15 hours per week. |
