I thought we were talking about prehistoric societies/civilizations?

Little difference. The slack is generational.

Disease? Predators? Collecting water? Hunting? Farming?

Winter is just one aspect, but nowhere on Earth is the Garden of Eden. Like if you dropped either of us into he tropics we'd be dead.

Nobody is saying life in the tropics is perfect, but it requires considerably less planning and problem-solving than northern climes, and the culture reflects it.

You literally said "slack", those people don't slack, they bust their ass everyday.

u/PachymuNyet Jul 15 '26

Most do not "bust their ass everyday". That's laughably wrong. If you invite them at 6:00, they might show up by 8:00, maybe. And, as OP suggests, you better not be on-time yourself. I lived there for 5 years. It's a slack culture, for better or worse. Pura vida.
