It's not hard to see why. The majority in the US are wage slaves who will toil away sacrificing time with family and friends to enrich someone they will never meet.

There are a good number of anthropologists I've read and heard speak who through their research have come to believe on the whole pre-agrarian humans were the happiest to ever walk the earth. They "worked" about 15 hours a week.

I think we're flattering ourselves thinking the modern world is really any better for most people.
