[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [QB] [QUOTE]their decision dooms the human race to more than a thousand centuries of hunter-gathering leading to gradual cultivation before anything resembling a worthwhile civilisation develops[/QUOTE]Isn't that just a value judgment? Who are you to say that hunter-gatherer society isn't "worthwhile"? What makes industrial society any more "worthwhile"? Do you think whatever happiness you have stems from how many books are in the local library or how much math your civilization knows or how many Btus of energy it uses? If technology isn't the problem, it's not the solution either; it's just a thing. So I guess what you mean by "worthwhile" has something to do with art or culture, but it's a misunderstanding to think that hunter-gatherers don't have art or culture - and I'm sure it's quite worthwhile to them.
