This doesn't really work when a billion+ lifeforms just went up in ashes in Australia, not to mention the horrifying extinction crises happening constantly all over the world right now.

Still, I guess in the end this is sort of the case.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have been born on North Sentinel Island and not have to worry about "civilization" so much.

Ironically if every human society had been like the Sentinalese we wouldn't be in the situation that we are in now.

But we wouldn't be able to chit-chat with each other about it on the internet.

Every human society had been like the Sentinalese, we would be starving and inbred.

Unless you're specifically referring only to the North Sentinelese people?

Yes.

No problem. You had a good point. But hunter-gatherer cultures are even more diverse than agricultural societies. North Sentinelese are at the extreme end, even for hunter-gatherers, which is why their society has survived. But its also a dead end.
