Opening paragraph:

"For hundreds of thousands of years, people lived well in peaceful, egalitarian, healthy societies, at the very least in comparison with what followed."

Second part talks about work being play and how it was so much better. Just ignore the parts where you starved to death or had neighboring countries invade and pillage.

And slavery DEFINITELY wasn't a thing.

What a joke.

I would love to offer this guy the opportunity to transport him and his family back to the "good times" 50000 years ago.

Why am I doubtful he would take it?
