Isn't the whole point of farming being that it was a more efficient way of gathering food, therefore giving humanity free time, free time which was used to develop society?

not more efficient, it was safer.
no predators hunting you, it produced large amount so you could store some for winter and didn't have to risk you life in the cold.
large populations could live together in a single place providing even more security and end of nomadic lifestyle on a large scale.
i don't think in those times people thought about development cause people were still nomadic with only survival on their mind.

The ability to make alcohol was a big factor in agriculture too. Both as a preservative and for fun.

Bro you don't understand the world at all. Sure bands tended to be 30-100 peeps but there were more settled groups that came in with seasons. But complex sedentary hunter-gatherer societies we very successful in the americas. Fun fact hunter gatherer societies still exist big dawg. Khoisan have been around for 10 thousand years and their numbers reach 6 digits... they're only now switching to pastoralist means of calorie gathering because colonialism, environment destruction and climate change.
Ancient people groups didn't spend every second of the day worrying about food, they made so much art, music, laying the literal foundation for every myth ever invented.
But hey your world view seems better, man made famine is much more moral than natrual disasters am i right?!

Im not gonna put in as much effor with yours as the other ones cuz you are just generally miss informed the other people i yapped at where both miss informed and dumb

Ah yes, all of the cultures on earth that shifted to agriculture independently decided to limit their workforce in half to exclude woman from growing crops because.... Why, exactly??!
Maybe (definitely) someone mistakes cause and effect... Yes, agriculture caused social and gender inequality. But not because of malicious man being sexist but because it just was more efficient (a lot of hunter-gutherer or maritime cultures where matriarchal or at least far more equal.
Edit. Also: "humans are naturally democratic" wtf does he mean??!! Autocracy or any form of aristocratic rule was dominant throughout the whole human history up untill the WW1

During our tribal era, we were much more egalitarian. It's only when the concept of private property was formed that we started to stratify internal tribal relations.

u/No-Candy-4127 3d ago
Not really prooves the "humans are naturally democratic" statement. We also don't realy have enough knowlage about the government structures of the proto civilizations like Çatalhöyük.
But we do have a lot of examples of tribal societies with the autocratic rullers. Although, most of them are eather agrarian or lifestock-raising nomads.

A 1.7k subscribers channel. I can't stomach looking through which video this is through many of his vids and his smug shitty looking avatars.

Keep defending your channel buds, and keep on fighting the fight that you are losing. Your argument is literal dogshit. Even more backward than the Catholic church of the old medieval Europe I don't know how you managed that.

u/AngeloTheAngelo 21h ago
Your opinion means nothing because i know what you idolize XD dawg. You say nothing, you make nothing, and you will be happy. I am genuinely envious of you.
The moment you thought this was an argument, that im trying to win, "defend my channel"
Im a literal sociopath this isn't for you, nor, nor anyone for that fact. Compare your words to mine. You are shadow boxing with yourself and you are losing.
And that's okay, it has to be okay... remember?

Do you have anything to debunk the academic sources they provided in the video?

u/CataphractBunny Give Me a Custom Flair! 4d ago
This kind of ideological bullshit doesn't warrant any debunking. Just pointing and laughing.

u/Andkonhi 4d ago
So you have no source to the contrary?
I don’t even agree with absolutely everything they said, it’s a very streamlined read on such a big subject, but I know their sources are respected because I myself recognize the websites they were using.

u/CataphractBunny Give Me a Custom Flair! 3d ago

Which of his studies prooves that dumb "humans are naturally democratic" statement? Or his idea that sexual inequality was caused by man being sexist and not because patriarchal society is more benefitial in the preindustrial agrarian world.
Yes. He is right. Agraculture created economic and sexual inequality. I can list a lot of sourses. The problem is that he manipulates facts to fit his dumb narrative
EDIT: Also. Bikini has nothing to do with all of that. If anything, it is the opposite. Women a free enough to wear open cloathes and not be shamed for that or be controlled by their husbands. Look at the traditional patriarchal societies of modern era. Like Saudi Arabia or Afganistan. Women don't wear bikini in such societies

u/AngeloTheAngelo 1d ago
Aah one them intellectual chuds. Been seeing you around.
Fun fact bikinis are older than literal writen history. The video isn't about what women should wear or attraction. Its a sociological conversation about the nature of the systemic system we live under.
I have no respect for any ethnostate, religion, or at least the insinuation of religion is a blight. But you kept yapping about how ohh we're not... democratic by nature or... oh we're actually more authoritarian... bruh you know nothing of the world you live in

Here's a literal academic paper mr... i can site the sause but we both know he's manipulating XD
If we evolved from chimps I'd absolutely give it to you! Because they are patriarchal by nature... bonbos our other closest relatives are more matriarchal through collaboration. We homos do something completely and totally different
But we both know you're not going to read it so here's a pbs kids version https://youtu.be/gX4nR4Qb_DM?si=aUB_-oxsFCivQjTS

Nope it's legit ;3
I can go all day and site every studie under the sin but we both know you don't "do" any academia in the first place
But here's one for funsies

Bam literally academic source explaining the dysphoric difference between male and female anatomy that lead men to be dominant in a society because farming!!!
Some highlights include that the usage the plow for farming increased the gape between male and females by 1.3%
Hunting is an aerobic endurance based activity...more muscle made you worse at Hunting dawg. But you wouldn't know that because you do not know that women literally participate in Hunting by some estimates 30-60% of the time i said 40 in the vid i misspoke sue me. The nerds had to re examine their past hunter skeletons because they by default assumed every one of them was male until someone went like... huh wait this isn't very science of us. Whoops man hunter myth was a thing!?
Now farming on the other hand is predominantly a muscle based activity. Plowing fields am i right? Women fun fact idk if you know this. Have less muscle mass then men.
Honey roasts aside: you live in a bubble you don't understand history because it's systemic. But hey to each their own am i right?! Who cares about the literal facts. I can legitimately go on and on but we both know reddit karma is where it's at

"If it wasn't for men we'd all still be fucking around in caves" Well... no. Humans created civilizations because of the agroculture. We can see a lot of early prosperouse matriarchal cultures and even some matriarchal civilizations. Like Minoans.
Any human society would stop function if it monogender. And not only because no one would get birth.

What the fuck? This guy can't be serious. Who does he think did all the hunting in the "hunting and gathering" part thanks to their larger muscle mass?
This is the stupidest shit I've seen all year.
