Tools Are Primitive
Just when you thought you were so advanced and such a wonderful species, you finally run into the internet, which helps you now to come to the realization that your are worse than a barbarian. You are the
Cro-Magnon. You are the Pithicanthropuserectus. You are the Schmuck of Proposterousamerieuroafroasiopimus.
Tools. Tactile and extentive. They had a worse effect on the collective human mind than prehistoric
Mideastern rocknroll of the thirtieth century B.C..
Okay, mister wise guy, you ask, what should we have done? No tools, no civilization, right? The human mind works thousands of times slower because tools slow it to a
comparative thinking mode often made worse by deductive logic.
What do you think all those plants and animals mean to the civilization of the human being? The human mind can work with the
biosphere to such an extent that the food availability would be at least ten times greater than that of today's best highly tooled agriculture.
The human highly tooled society has totally eliminated the human capability to work with the rest of the plant and animal world except for a couple of plants and animals that remain like the horse and dog and crops.
