My position is AFAICT the same in the entire thread. There is nothing "obviously" wrong and harmful with a lifestyle because it looks different than a modern lifestyle (that is not the result of tuning for positive mental health, but a lot of game theory toward the opposite) and that not everyone leads even today. Tribe size averages don't mean every family everywhere was connected with people outside their immediate family more often than required to reproduce. Plenty of herders still spend most of their time in their atomic family in Turkik places, Africa, etc and have done so since before agriculture. Are they all obviously mentally ill because they don't go to supermarkets?

(To me this is the same observation as that many people first experience schizophrenia at the stage when they are most likely going off to school, the school environment is a change and not obviously more defective for our mental health, those who have crisis might have unhealthy family relationships before hand, etc, etc.)
