I think he and his brother Hank Green have a lot of companies. But like I'm pretty sure AFC Wimbledon's stadium literally has an "Official John Green Urinal" or some such. I'll be honest I mostly tune him out when he starts talking about football. Much more interested in his thoughts on literature, history, and how we're all gonna die.

Have people read the book 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari?
Pretty much explains it all there.
Basically he took Guns Germs and Steel and made money off it with a 'sequel' book...

Maybe religious worship may have had something to do with the development of larger cities.
I.e. the development of some kind of organized religion with a priest caste which then erected places of religious worship (like Thingstätten, or sacred groves) with people then choosing to settle near these sacred places in order to be nearer to their gods/religious ritualsTamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

Again this assertion that hunter gatherers enjoyed a higher quality of life.
Even if it's true, there's no way the earth could support 7 billion plus human hunter gatherers, so... I'm kind of proving myself wrong here, aren't I?

Hmmm, I think it is personal. Some people prefer cities, some countryside...It can really depend on the working field and personality.Comment

Damn, right. I think that those philosophical problems of modern life and the trend for "live not like everybody", and the paranoid ideas that something's wrong is only the tool to make money for those every year fresh "influencers" and sell their trainings, courses lectures, books and so on.
It does not mean that I think that you should be like everybody or "normal". I mean that people for the last decade follow the trend to stand out from the crowd, everybody in the same way, and as a result, they just copy the behavior and ideas of the image they were inspired by, instead of creating that by themselves, cuz it's easierSociology is interesting to me as a science, but all those writings with stats I entrust the writers at https://writingcheap.com/sociology-papers.html, they help to make my grades higherComment
