Human life was more meaningful and satisfying before agriculture.
The tight social bonds, important survival skills, and high value of life that a hunter-gatherer society would necessitate is unparalleled today.
We're too overpopulated to truly believe that every life is meaningful and worth preserving. We're too socially isolated to be spiritually fulfilled because we don't need one another directly to survive. Life is longer but ironically worse because because we play a low risk game of mere existence instead of a high stakes journey of visceral survival with highs and lows that stimulate every aspect of the soul.
Look up the Mouse Utopia experiment for more info on how unlimited material resources can overcrowd and socially destroy a species.
A longer experience isn't necessarily a better one. Would you rather go camping with your friends for a day or spend a week in solitary confinement?
Yes, that's how I compare ancient and modern life. A short hiking adventure and a long prison sentence.
Although we're the last surviving human species and our population is massive, I believe the spirit of humanity died many millennia ago. When the last human could live without the skills, discipline, and tradition passed down from generations of people who stood naked and unafraid.
I believe that our sexual urges are so powerful because they needed to be to sustain the population before farming. Now it just seems to get in the way of life in a social order that's about performing actions that are so menial and far removed from survival it makes no fucking sense.
I don't have the answers to this problem. I suggest just not buying into the idea that this nerfed modern existence is worth investing your soul into. Everything that you'd have to do to bring meaning into your life is automated. Hunting, fishing, foraging, building shelter, cooking, discovering, etc.
As sad as it may or may not be, fucking is the last visceral challenge left as far as the nervous system is concerned. So lift like a barbarian and fuck like a savage.
Having kids was an absolute necessity in the uncertain prehistoric world. Survival depended successful reproduction of strong men and fertile women. The necessity is now gone in our (ironically dystopian) modern utopia while the urgency remains.
Having kids is an absolute meme in the modern world. So is monogamy. They are low stakes minigames that take over your life and cause you to live for others. Go it alone in pursuit of meaningful visceral experience in a world devoid of it. Inb4 "muh genetic line".
We don't realize how spiritually fucked we are because we're coddled by material comforts. Escape your thought prisons and live in accordance with your nature to find meaning.
TL;DR Modern life is fake and gay. Get jacked and fuck bitches. Maybe learn to cook and experiment with psychedelics.
You heard it here first in the last bastion of free speech that is TRP.
