i think most of us couldn't, but i wonder sometimes if i'd been born before agriculture what it'd be like.
i wonder what it'd be like to just generally live in simpler times.
There was more ambient danger and death, sure, yeah. You had to dedicate way more of your grey matter to surviving your environment - sounds like it sucks
but we weren't meant for whatever this is, and there's no way to make it more like what we were meant for without abandoning it all outright. at least that stuff is closer to who we actually are.
My understanding of nomadic life is that (at least in my NA region historically) its more like you move between areas to stay in comfy weather. Each camp has its own jobs and crops and such that are taken care of during a season and left alone until the next time you come back around. I think hunting and gathering is often not represented in a sensible way.
