Yeh, this absolutely hits the nail on the head. Good summary.

This was very interesting. I have not heard of this before. A good example to not get too caught up in this “nature is perfect” thinking.

That is a lovely picture you are painting but there is certainly no evidence we “built a paradise” for ourselves. There would still be famine, struggle for resources, war and uncountable problems in the daily struggle for survival.

It’s not as simple as “past good, present bad”.
